Question

Page showing a direct influence page?

I'm setting up a site using the Data Collection tool (launch).  I'm looking at Adobe Debugger on the site that I have this dev deployed on. In the analytics Rows, I have a Page Name that shows the current page. I have a Page URL that shows the current page URL.

I also have a page (lower case p which seems out of place)..  and that is populating that data with the previous page (direct influence page). 

I've been trying to chase down where this is coming from and correct it but I'm not finding this 'page' variable getting setup in our configuration.
Has anyone had experience with this?


There may be some wonky things we have setup that might be contributing, but I don't think so. I figured I'd start with this before adding some info that might be misleading.

p. and .p are just namespaces...

 

So basically, Adobe has page data, and context data, and this just helps to classify the information.

 

p. is the start, you will see a corresponding .p as the end

 

p.

Page Name        value

Page URL           value

.p

 


Just like context variables are encapsulated with c. and .c

 

It looks like Adobe is changing up how Activity Map is sending the data... I am no longer seeing data between activitymap. and .activitymap, but that information is now all inside the page data.

 

I believe this is very new, as this is the first I have seen it...

hmm, maybe "page" is the new activity map page name?

    That is what I am seeing.. what I used to see in the activitymap. and .activitymap, is now listed as "page", "region" and "link" mixed in with the rest of my tracking parameters.(which kind of sucks from a testing perspective because now they are all separate from one another rather than in a nice little related group....)

      Hi @motoed-work 

      are you referring to this "p." field in the debugger?

      I only see it set with debug information. Adobe sometimes uses patterns in the query string that signal the start and end of something.

      You may have seen "AQB" and "AQE" which signal the beginning and end of the Adobe Analytics query string parameters

       

      This "p." and ".p" looks like this as well.

       

      It should not be relevant for your analysis. For your purpose, I think the Referrer should be what you are looking for.

       

      Here's a general overview of all query parameters that a query string can contain. The parameter mentioned is not listed there either, so I would just ignore it.

      Not the p. line... it's the "page" listed just below that.

      Hi @motoed-work 

       

      In the network tab of the developer tools (press F12), can you filter for "/ss" which will give you the Adobe Analytics requests > right-click > copy URL

      and paste it here or in a DM to me with pointing out the concrete value this post is about? Maybe that makes it easier.
