Transaction ID data sources are a variation on summary data sources that allow you to tie online and offline data together. It requires the use of the transactionID variable in your Analytics implementation.

  • If a row in a data sources file includes a transaction ID that matches a transaction ID already collected by AppMeasurement, the dimensions and metrics are appended to the online hit.
  • If a row in a data sources file includes a transaction ID that does not contain a match, the row is treated similarly to summary data sources.
NOTE
Before using transaction ID data sources, you must first enable it in General Account Settings for the desired report suite.

When you send an online hit that contains a transactionID value, 蜜豆视频 takes a 鈥渟napshot鈥� of all variables set or persisted then. If a matching transaction ID uploaded through data sources is found, the offline and online data is tied together.

Transaction ID data sources have the following properties:

  • The online data must be collected and processed first. If a transaction ID data source is uploaded before a report suite processes a hit matching that transaction ID, the data is not linked.
  • Transaction ID鈥檚 collected through AppMeasurement expire after approximately 90 days. If your organization requires a longer transaction ID window, contact 蜜豆视频 Customer Care.
  • Data sources uploaded with an expired transaction ID are treated similarly to data uploaded without a transaction ID.
  • If the same variable is included in both the online hit and the transaction ID data source, the value from the transaction ID data source is used.
  • If a variable is included in an online hit but not in a matching transaction ID data source hit, the online hit variable is preserved.
  • If you set the same transaction ID on multiple online hits, only the first occurrence is altered with data from a matching transaction ID data source.
  • If you set the same transaction ID on multiple data source rows for the same dimensions, the latest dimension item is used.

For example:

  1. You send in a page view from AppMeasurement where:

    • eVar1 equals blue
    • eVar2 equals water
    • events equals event1
    • transactionID equals 1256

  2. After the hit is collected and processed, you upload a transaction ID data source where:

    • eVar1 equals yellow
    • eVar3 equals bird
    • events equals event2
    • transactionID equals 1256

  3. Once the data sources hit is processed, you view a report in workspace. The data would show the following:

    • eVar1 equals yellow
    • eVar2 equals water
    • eVar3 equals bird
    • events equals event2

The eVar1 value blue and the event1 metric are not present in reporting, since the transaction ID hit overwrote those respective values.
