How do you correlate a login ID with download of a logo on a secure page in DTM?

I need to create a report that shows 3 columns - User ID, button clicked (the click on the button is equivalent to downloading the logo on our site), and a time stamp (HH:MM DD:MM:YY).

The user experience is the following:

1. User arrives at Page A and enters a unique ID in a form field and presses "Submit"

2. User is taken to Page B where he/she has access to download needed logos via buttons that read "Download small logo", "Download large logo", etc.

I use DTM for my analytics, but am brand new to it. I am the ONLY one at my company handling analytics, so while I have access to programmers, no one is familiar with SiteCatalyst or DTM. 

How can I capture the user ID and save it throughout the session to then have it "assigned" to the appropriate actions by the user and create a report?

I appreciate any and all help in as simple/direct steps as possible :) 

Thank you!

First, I'd make sure the rule is even firing (DTM Switch plugin is useful here).

If you are defining props/evars in the custom code area, you need to use s. in front of them (like s.eVar2).

Hi

You need to configure following variables: 2 eVar and single event .

one eVar will have User ID and other Name of the link/logo (which user will click) finally an event which for botton clicked, all these will be fired in link tracking ,

An image will get fired on click of the button ( s.tl() ) and all mentioned variable should be mentioned in it.

Please let me know if you face any issue.

Regards

Hi,

So far I've only gotten as far as trying to capture my login ID and I can't even get that to work :(  Can you see where I am going wrong?

The login page I am working on is: http://www.stewart.com/content/stewart/stewartcom/en/customer-type/agency-services/trusted-provider-login.html

I am trying to create an event based rule to capture the login ID as eVar2. I have attached a screenshot of my conditions. Then in the  Adobe Analytics portion of the rule, I have clicked on "s.tl(); - does NOT increment a pageview" and added the following custom code to assign the login ID to eVar2.
Custom code:
var eVar2 = 'Sample Text';
$('[data-formlocalauthentication="form"]').each(function(){
$(this).on('submit',function(){
eVar2 = $(this).find('[name="agentid"]').val();
return eVar2;
});
});

Is anyone able to take a look at the above and see where I'm going wrong? The custom code is actually:

 eVar2 = 'Sample Text';
$('[data-formlocalauthentication="form"]').each(function(){
$(this).on('submit',function(){
eVar2 = $(this).find('[name="agentid"]').val();
return eVar2;
});
});
