Hi @loldenburg, Thanks for your feedback. The mapping options can be confusing and we are now reviewing the documents.

Good question. All page hits (set) means that we use the Google Analytics "set" command to set the custom dimension/metric. The "set" command sets the variable for the current hit and all subsequent hits until the page reloads. For example, if the cdim is triggered on page load, and you have subsequent utag.link calls on the page for link tracking, all the events would receive the same cdim, even if it was not present in the data layer on that specific hit (you can think of it like a cache). The "Pageview" scope means that the cdim/metric will only be sent once, as long as the event is a page view/utag.view event. Example: utag.view({page_name:"homepage", country: "UK"}); // if country is mapped to cdim1 with pageview scope, cdim 1 will receive the value "UK" utag.link({link_name:"home button"}); // here, country won't be sent again. If you switch to "All page hits" scope, however, country would still be present, despite not being available in the data object Does that help to clarify things? The GA documentation on Google's support site explains the set mechanism in a bit more detail. ... View more

It's usually better to default everything to a string value (e.g. "1") since most of our templates expect strings. Javascript is also loose enough where you can increment and convert back to a string in one swoop:   b['metrics1'] = (++b['metrics1']) + ""; //increment by 1 ... View more

Yup! You can do this pretty easily using a set data values extension. You would just set user_id to the existing _ptmz variable. Your condition might also say "_ptmz is defined" for the extension rule. ... View more

@ani2012, the easiest way is to use the jQuery onHandler extension   https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/User-Documentation/jQuery-onHandler-Extension-jQuery-v1-7-and-up/ta-p/9868   Thanks Steve Lake ... View more

Hi,    As long as you are using the latest version of the GUA template, you just need to map the timing variables in and the template will handle them.  The values that you will need to map to are timingCatagory, timingVar and timingValue. timingLabel is optional.     The only complication is that they are not in the mapping toolbox, but if you choose the datasource that you want to map, then when the mapping toolbox comes up, press Esc or press the cancel button, then you can type into the "destination" box.      Once you have those mapped, the data will be sent through.   You do need to make sure that you have the most recent version of the GUA template, however.    Thanks Steve Lake ...
