Learn how to implement Google Analytics tracking in your Display

Overview

Google Analytics tracking is configurable on a license-level: the same Google Analytics Tracking ID will be applied to all your Display instances in the same license, once configured.

All events are tracked to the iPaper Display category in the following format:

Interactive flag

There are some events that we want to mark as non-interactive (or “non-interaction events” by Google Analytics’ definition). This will mean that even if these events are fired, the session will be considered as bounced if the user does not further interact with the page.

Event labels

The data format below is represented in JSON. It is converted to a string for the eventLabel object using the following convention:

  • Key names are PascalCased
  • Key-value pairs are separated by the pipe character |

Example:

{
  Id: [PRODUCT_ENTITY_PRODUCT_ID],
  Url: [PRODUCT_ENTITY_PRODUCT_URL]
}

…is converted into:

Id: [PRODUCT_ENTITY_PRODUCT_ID] | Url: [PRODUCT_ENTITY_PRODUCT_URL]
