Passing dataLayer variable into DTM data elements

Question

I have been struggling for days on the correct "path" for my mappings, and appreciate your explanation.

As a result of your detailed explanation found here: http://goo.gl/rdZgt4 I have replaced the path: http://screencast.com/t/UzZY7IaZ06L with the path: http://screencast.com/t/Cuu28nuVI

I am still debugging the mbox parameters from the page load I have firing, ProductDetail:

Why is my CustomerType appearing but not my ProductID?

http://screencast.com/t/8uhwuZqJRUhI

As you see in the debugging panel _satellite.getVar('ProductID') is returning the correct value, but is not showing in the mbox debugger?

Thanks,

David

Hi David ,Yes , They would be exposed in DTM . Please see the below snapshot of the example we have implemented .In the above , We are creating our Data Element from "AEM Context Hub" "Custom Data Layer" .Also, Please see the linkhttps://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/dtm/c_custom-data-layer-example.html for more infoThanks & RegardsParit Mittal

Thanks for checking. I rolled out a patch to move the population of the JS variable DTMdataLayer above my DTM include and that rectified.

As a follow up, AEM ContextHub tool and integration in this fashion. I used the "Customized ContextHub Data Layer" option and added my data layers definition to the bottom of the default and then saved. I entered DTMdataLayer for the "Data Layer Root" in hopes that this tool would automatically expose these variables. Perhaps saving a wee bit of time when defining my data elements, as they would be exposed in the DTM?
