DIL Modules dil-modules

Describes methods in the DIL.modules namespace. These modules let you programmatically collect data and work with Audience Manager objects.

siteCatalyst.init sitecat-init

Works with DIL to send Analytics tag elements (variables, props, eVars, etc.) to Audience Manager. Returns data in a comma separated list. Available in version 2.6.

Function Signature: DIL.modules.siteCatalyst.init(siteCatalystReportingSuite, dilInstance, trackVars, options)

Parameters

Data Captured by siteCatalyst.init

This function returns details on the following Analytics properties:

Sample Code

This code creates a comma separated list of Analytics events (props, eVars, etc.) if values for them exist.

// Get the Site Catalyst object instance:
var s = s_gi(s_account);

// Instantiate DIL code:
var scDil = DIL.create({
        partner: 'adobe',
        containerNSID: 5
});

// Use the module:
DIL.modules.siteCatalyst.init(s, scDil, {
        //Specify the Site Catalyst variables you want to capture:
        names: ['pageName', 'channel', 'campaign'],
        //Use this to create iterated variable names:
        iteratedNames: [{
               name: 'eVar',
               maxIndex: 75
        }, {
               name: 'prop',
               maxIndex: 75
        }]
});

To track all the monitored Analytics data points without the additional function shown above, invoke siteCatalyst.init by itself like this:

DIL.modules.siteCatalyst.init(s, scDil);

GA.submitUniversalAnalytics ga-submit-universal-analytics

The GA.submitUniversalAnalytics(); function sends data from Google’s Universal Analytics to Audience Manager. This DIL function is designed to work with analytics.js, which is the latest code library for Google Universal Analytics.

Function Signature: DIL.modules.GA.submitUniversalAnalytics(gaObject, dilInstance, internalPropertyName);

Properties

The GA.submitUniversalAnalytics(); function accepts the following properties.

Example

Remember to define the Google Analytics ga object first, before calling DIL and GA.submitUniversalAnalytics();. Your code could look similar to this:

//Instantiate DIL
var dilInstance = DIL.create({
     partner:"adobe"
});

//Call the DIL Universal Analytics function
DIL.modules.GA.submitUniversalAnalytics(ga, dilInstance);

GA.init ga-init

The GA.init() function sends data from the legacy/deprecated version of Google Analytics to Audience Manager.

Function Signature: DIL.modules.GA.init(_gaq, dilInstance, trackVars);

Parameters

Supported GA Function Calls

By default, GA.init captures data from the following functions:

DIL Creates Keys for GA Data

Audience Manager accepts data in the form of key-value pairs while GA works with items in an array. To work with GA data, DIL creates a key-value pair automatically and forms a key like this: c_ <key name>. Also, items in GA arrays appear in a specific order. As a result, you must supply all parameters in that order, even when they contain no data. DIL maps keys for the following GA methods:

// Tracking Social Interactions
_gaq.push(['_trackSocial',
    'facebook',                        // c_socialNetwork
    'like',                            // c_socialAction
    'https://www.adobe.com/cool.php',   // c_socialTarget
    '/cool.php'                        // c_socialPagePath
]);

// Tracking a Transaction
_gaq.push(['_addTrans',
   '1234',           // c_transOrderId
   'Womens Apparel', // c_transAfflication
   '28.28',          // c_transTotal
   '1.29',           // c_tranTax
   '15.00',          // c_transShipping
   'San Jose',       // c_transCity
   'California',     // c_transState
   'USA'             // c_transCountry
]);

// Tracking an item
_gaq.push(['_addItem',
   '1234',           // c_itemOrderId=1234
   'DD44',           // c_itemSku
   'T-Shirt',        // c_itemName
   'Olive Medium',   // c_itemCategory
   '11.99',          // c_itemPrice
   '1'               // c_itenQuantity
]);

Sample Code

// DIL JavaScript library needs to be loaded and executed here
var dilInstance = DIL.create({
    partner : "adobe"
});

// Assume ga.js has not loaded
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(
  ['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X'],
  ['_setDomainName', 'example.com'],
  ['_setCustomVar', 1, 'Section', 'Life & Style', 3],
  ['_trackPageview']
);
_gaq.push([
  '_addItem',
  '1234',         // order ID - necessary to associate item with transaction
  'DD44',         // SKU/code - required
  'T-Shirt',      // product name - necessary to associate revenue with product
  'Olive Medium', // category or variation
  '11.99',        // unit price - required
  '1'             // quantity - required
]);

To track all the monitored GA metrics without the additional function shown above, invoke GA.init by itself like this:

DIL.modules.GA.init(_gaq, dilInstance).submit();

Sample Event Call

The URL event call to Audience Manager could look similar to this:

https://adobe.demdex.com/event?...c_accountId=UA-XXXXX-X&c_Section=Life%20%26%20Style &c_itemOrderId=1234&c_itemSku=DD44&c_itemName=T-Shirt&c_itemCategory=Olive%20Medium& c_itemPrice=11.99&c_itemQuantity=1
