Please read this document carefully. It contains important information about WebTrends Tag Builder.
Overview
WebTrends Tag Builder provides a convenient, consistent interface for configuring WebTrends JavaScript tags. Using Tag Builder ensures standard, legible, maintainable tag code at a high level of customization. It also allows quick updates based on a tag configuration file in XML format.
Tag Builder can create tags for the following specialized situations:
- Customized tracking of multiple domains and subdomains
- On-click event tracking using dcsMultiTrack, including form completion tracking
Note:
If you have already implemented dcsMultiTrack for any type of web site tracking, please consult with WebTrends Support or Services before you use any of these Tag Builder functions. These functions can be found on the Click Event Tracking page of Tag Builder.
- Custom query parameter tracking
- Customized cookie tracking including OMB-compliant cookie tracking
- Ad Director conversion tracking
- Quantcast tracking
For more information, see the Tag Builder Help.
v3.0 (March 2009)
- The Tag Builder interface has been redesigned to support a more usable, task-based workflow. For more information about the new design, see forthcoming posts at the WebTrends blog.
- In previous versions, right-click tracking for downloads was configured on the Click Event Tracking tab. The new Event Tracking settings now track right-click downloads by default for all the file types specified in the Downloads setting. You can disable right-click tracking for downloads by selecting the Do not include right-clicks check box.
If you update a tag from a previous version that enabled right-click tracking for specific file types, the new tag combines that list with the list of file types specified in the File Types text box for Downloads.
- In previous versions, navigational area tracking was enabled on the Click Event Tracking tab. This tracking functionality is now included in the tag by default, and is not shown in the user interface. To disable navigational area tracking, change
this.navigationtag="div,table"; to this.navigationtag=""; in the tag code.
- The Dynamic Links selection in Click Event Tracking has been divided into JavaScript tracking and Mailto: tracking. These tracking types are now enabled separately in the Event Tracking settings. As a result, in the JavaScript code, the
dcsDynamic event handler has been split into the dcsMailTo and dcsJavaScript event handlers.
- The tag now tracks Silverlight v2.0 correctly. Previously, Silverlight v2.0 was tracked as v1.9.
- The tag version has changed from 8.6.1 to 8.6.2.
v2.2 (February 2009)
- Support for Quantcast tag integration was added. You can enable this integration by providing your Quantcast ID on the Advanced Settings tab.
- If you use Google AdWords and you have enabled Destination URL Autotagging, paid search clickthrough detection is now enabled automatically.
- File extensions you specify on the Click Event Tracking tab are now case-insensitive.
- A problem with referrer tracking for off-site links has been corrected.
- The tag version has changed from 8.6.0 to 8.6.1.
v2.1 (October 2008)
- The file name for the ZIP archive containing the tag elements now includes the DCSID. The filename now uses the format
webtrends_dcsid.zip.
- The ZIP archive containing the tag elements now includes a
readme.txt explaining what each element is and how to deploy the tag.
- The Additional Settings tab was renamed to Advanced Settings.
- Because of a product name change, the
dynamicsearch.js file was renamed to addirector.js.
- The Cookie Domain Attribute field on the Basic Settings tab now supports the dash "-" character.
- The tag now supports cross-domain using WebTrends First Party Cookie for Marketing Warehouse.
- New settings for Warehouse-Specific Visitor Tracking (Advanced Settings > Warehouse-Specific Visitor Tracking) now allow you to override the WebTrends-supplied visit ID parameter,
WT.vtid.
- When the target page of an Ad Click link (Advanced Settings > Query Parameter Mapping > Create ad view from links containing this parameter) contained links with anchors, the anchor links were erroneously considered Ad Click links. This problem has been fixed.
- When OMB-compliant cookies are enabled (Advanced Settings > General Visitor Tracking > Use an OMB compliant cookie) the
wtid.js file is no longer requested.
- META tag names that contain WebTrends Query Parameters such as
WT, DCS, and DCSext are no longer case-sensitive.
- The tag version was changed from 8.5.0 to 8.6.0.
