Custom tools - list of tools

[cgullestrup]

Custom tools are great for making working with Tealium iQ easier, but I always thought that a list of custom tools was missing.

So hereby a list of already great custom tools.

I will try and keep it updated when I learn of new custom tools :-)

*** Please PM me if you think a tool is missing, so that I can add it to this list ***

(This is my third trial, as there appears to be a maximum of contents a post can contain. So I had to split every custom tool description in separate replies to initial post)

A powerful testing tool that allows you to change the Tealium files (utag.js, utag.sync.js) that are loaded on a page by specifying an environment (Dev, QA, Prod) and/or an Account/Profile.

his tool will export each tag along with every variable referenced in the tag's data mappings and load rule to a CSV file.  This tool will only run within the Tealium iQ page.  This will only work for the specific profile the user is currently logged into, each profile will need to be logged into seperately.

The Tealium Tools version of Web Companion improves the diagnostic reporting of the original Web Companion tool. This new version provides a more accurate status of the tags, load rules, and extensions that run on a page.

A new tool for validating the Universal Data Object and event tracking calls. The Universal Tag (UTAG) Debugger provides an easy way for marketers and developers to validate the data layer and tracking events in real-time on their site. It's very similar to WebCompanion, but is focused on the data layer and the data captured by each tracking event within utag.js.

Thank you, but it is really hard to find, and should, in my opinion, be listed in a separate article :-)

Hello @cgullestrup,

In addition to @adrian_browning statement above, here you can view the Productivity Tools which Tealium provides as its best,

Hope it helps!!! Happy Learning!!!

Hello @cgullestrup. Thank you for the feedback and the list of various custom Tealium Tools we have to offer. 

I'll let my internal teams know about your request for a separate list.

Have a great rest of your day!

[cgullestrup]

Thank you!

[AndreScholten]

Nice list of tools, @cgullestrup. The tool I'm missing, but which I use very often is the Extension Search. When you have a lot of javascript extentions and are looking for a specific line of code you can add an extra search-box on the extensions page that will highlight the specific extensions. Add this as a bookmarklet to your browser:

javascript:(function()%7Bif(document.location.href.indexOf('my.tealiumiq.com')!%3D%3D-1)%7Bif (typeof window.utag_extension_search %3D%3D%3D 'undefined' %26%26 typeof jQuery !%3D%3D 'undefined') %7BjQuery.getScript('https%3A%2F%2Ftags.tiqcdn.com%2Futag%2Fservices-brian%2Ftools%2Fprod%2Futag.1.js%3F_cb%3D'%2BMath.random())%3B%7Delse%7Bwindow.utag_extension_search.setupExtensionSearch()%3B%7D%7D%7D)()

And use it in the Extensions tab.

This tool, as well as the other mapping tool, will not work for sso.tealiumiq.com. 

Can this be updated to check for "my.tealiumiq.com" or "sso.tealiumiq.com"?

    // Incoming tool object from Tealium tools .html (Handlebars) UI
    main: function(tool) {
        if (document.URL.indexOf('my.tealiumiq.com') === -1) {
            this.error('Need to be on TiQ Website');
            return false

[kathleen_jo]

Oh my @greg_hollingswo. How did I miss this? My apologies. 

Can you give me more details on the tool you're referring to, please? Thank you and I look forward to your reply. 

[greg_hollingswo]

The Tag Variables Exporter (https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/iQ-Tag-Management/Tealium-Tool-Tag-Variables-Exporter/ta-p/17285) and the Variable Mappings Exporter (https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Developer-Tools/Tealium-Tool-Variable-Mappings-Exporter/ta-p/1615...) both check for my.tealiumiq.com only, and do not work if you're in sso.tealiumiq.com.

[simon_browning]

Hi @greg_hollingswo

Ther is also the Profile Exporter Tealium Tool (apologies the documentation for this needs work done). This supports the sso domain and provides other features instead. Here is a link to the tool's JSON file: https://goo.gl/EV0oe3

[greg_hollingswo]

Yes, @simon_browning, but the tag export in the PE doesn't include mapped variables, only load rules. When we're trying to ascertain the impact that a change to a single variable will have across our deployment, it is currently a manual process.

@cgullestrup I took your suggestion and created a separate article for the custom tools:

I love it @TealiumJustin! You're my HERO!
