Hi GaMeur1​,

Just want to add here that Page Load rules do not fire individual hits and just populate the variables to be sent through the call initiated by the Analytics tool in the web property. The Analytics tool fires the hit once _satellite.pageBottom() is called.

_satellite.track() is a separate function to call Direct Call rules and that can/can't fire a hit based on it's configuration. Here is an article regarding the same:

Hi Jerome, thanks for your answer.

I agrre: having multiple "pageBottom" will trigger multiple hits of page view. It's not what we want.

Personnaly, I didn't mean to trigger pageBottom multiple times.

What I meant is: I trigger one pageBottom at each page load (using a track and a clearVar before). But I have multiple "page load rules" that are triggerred by the unique pageBottom call. Those rules are applied or not according to the filters set inside each rule.

So I have only one hit for Analytics but from many rules with different filters...

pageBottom is to help DTM understand the loading of the page. However, it will also help trigger your page view ( i.e. s.t() ).

Adding it multiple times, will constantly trigger a page view. I would rather use the .track which will then help you call a direct call rule.

I see that you are using the clearVar function. FYI, see the latest notes (AppMeasurement for JavaScript ) as Adobe has now introduced call backs functions that will allow you to clear your vars

Ok but how do you do that?

Personally, I trigger a _satellite.track and inside it, I use s.clearVars();and then _satellite.pageBottom();

Hi,

I would not use satellite.pageBottom multiple times on a page. If you do, it will help trigger multiple page view tags.

It should be set once.

Hi Mohan, 

You can  use _satellite.pagebottom  multiple times on a page. The only thing that needs to be taken care of is to prevent sending the dimensions or events populated on previous pageBottom.

Thanks & Regards

You just have to prevent to send bad dimensions or events populated for previous pageBottom

but as mentioned in some doc it was saying that it has to be placed in the close of body tag 

As you mentioned if i use multiple times in one page is there any impact for tracking or i won't be any impact
