Using utag.view() and mapping of custom containers

[thomas_annerel]

Dear, Our site is mix between tradition url based pages and single page applications. On the single page applications we use tealium.view() to trigger the tags. A thing we noticed that de mapping on the tags of our Custom Containers is not reexecuted and still containing old values. How can we achieve this, without going to window.utag_data. Kind regards Thomas Annerel

Hi, First, can I clarify - do you mean you are using utag.view() ? Or have you got a custom written "tealium.view" function that calls the utag in a different way? Assuming you mean utag.view - if you are using UDO JS variables (rather than "jspage" variables) then they should be re-populated back into the data layer. If you are using "jspage" variables they are not currently re-populated back in, although we have work-arounds that resolve this - speak to your account manager, or raise a support case. Thanks Steve Lake

Thx I'm using utag.view() with UDO JS variables . The entire data object is empty. I will contact my account manager.

Hi Thomas, Try adding your variables under the publish settings base variables section and see if that works. Here is a link on how to access the publish settings. https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-iQ/Publish-Configurations/ta-p/13632 Under base variables add the data sources that you want passed and test again. Start with a few to see if it works and if not then we know that there is another issue.

As a quick fix I changed my code to utag.view(window.utag_data) so that my tags work. No sure this is good solution, not sure all extensions are reexecuted. Will recheck after the weekend
