I've been looking all over the 'interwebs' to find documentation on a specific need today. Since I didn't find anything, we (big thanks to our front-end developer) decided to build a solution ourselves and share the outcomes with the community. The need: We want to trigger a specific tag on desktop and tablet devices, but not on mobile devices. The problem: There isn't a simple way to state 'desktop or mobile device' as a load rule. So here's the end result, hopefully this will save some of you some time. Step 1: Adding data sources screenshot: http://www.pixeld.be/work/tealium1/step%201.png / http://www.pixeld.be/work/tealium1/step%201b.png Create 2 Data Layer elements: device_mobile device_tablet Step 2: Fill up your data layer values using a javascript extension screenshot: http://www.pixeld.be/work/tealium1/step%202a.png / http://www.pixeld.be/work/tealium1/step%202b.png Select the add extension option -> Go to the ‘Advanced’ tab > Select ‘Javascript Code Name your extension and paste the following code in the configuration field. // global var to detect mobile devices based on user agent

// global var to detect tablets based on user agent
utag_data.device_tablet = ((function(a){if(/ipad|android.+\d safari|tablet/i.test(a))return true})(navigator.userAgent||navigator.vendor||window.opera))?'true':'false'; !!! IMPORTANT: Set the scope to ‘Pre Loader' !!! Step 3: Create your load rules screenshot: http://www.pixeld.be/work/tealium1/step%203.png Build your load rules: is Mobile true: device_mobile / equals / true (if you want to trigger things on mobile devices) is Mobile false: device_mobile / equals / false (if you do NOT want to trigger things on mobile devices) is Tablet true: device_tablet / equals / true (if you want to trigger things on tablet devices) is Tablet false: device_tablet / equals / false (if you do NOT want to trigger things on tablet devices) Step 4: Use your load rules / Save / Test / Publish / Have a drink all other tricks, tips, comments around this issue and solution are always welcome.
