Fill in the fields:
Element | Description |
---|---|
Tool Type |
The type of tool, such as Adobe Analytics. |
Tool Name |
A descriptive name for this tool. This name displays on the Overview tab under Installed Tools. |
Configuration Method |
Automatic (Recommended): Use dynamic tag management to manage the configuration. This method enables automatic synchronization of Adobe Analytics report suites via a Experience Cloud login or Web Services ID, and manages the AppMeasurement code. After the accounts are connected, Dynamic Tag Management pulls the Adobe Analytics report suite IDs and names into the tool configuration interface, allowing for increased speed in tool deployment with less possibility for user errors.
Note: You must choose the Automatic option if you are an Adobe Analytics Premium customer. Fill in the fields specific to automatic configuration:

Manual: Manually manage the AppMeasurement code. You can download the Analytics AppMeasurement code from Admin Tools > Code Manager. Click JavaScript (new) for information about downloading the code locally to copy and paste in the Edit Code field in Library Management. Fill in the fields specific to a manual configuration:

Enable Automatic Configuration |
Note: Enabling this setting changes a manually configured implementation to the automatic configuration method described in Configuration Method. This option lets Dynamic Tag Management automatically retrieve your Adobe Analytics account's configuration. The latest available AppMeasurement code is used and upgrade notifications are displayed for selection as new versions become available. You can also roll back to previous AppMeasurement versions as necessary, such as for compatibility reasons. Up to five previous versions are displayed. |
