Hi @steve_thurner, I'm familiar with profile libaries, but my issue with using them is that in the actual published profile the flags that identify when tags actually get loaded and fire can't be set for a single tag (sepcifically the flag for preventing tag fire until dom.complete). So i was hoping to have my analytics profile launch on the page as normal with no delay flag, then have it in turn call the 3rd party tag profile which would have the flag set for dom.complete.     .. Perhaps there isn't much value in doing this?  I'm hoping for performance benefits - but am not sure there will be some.  Any ideas?   ... View more

Thanks @dan_george!  We found the issue with some more debugging.  We had some custom js that was persisting the values unexpectedly.  Thanks however for the additonal thorough details on the data layer movements though! ... View more

@dan_george, I'm finding some scenarios where on a breakpoint set during execution of Before Load Rules js code, I have  valid value for a data layer variable "pageType".     However, at the same time, when I look at utag.data["pageType"], it shows something different.  Then also after I finish that pageload where the valid value call was the last call to tealium - if I look at utag.data then it's still showing the invalid value.   When does the utag.data get updated during execution?  Based onyour previous answer, I would have expected it to populate between preloader and before load rules, and then again also when I update it using the 'b' object pointer within the utag.js extensions. ...

The most important (and urgent) customization I'd like would be to be able to disable any AudienceSTream attribute from being a part of the enriched data layer.  That's possible now for String Attributs via the "Personal Info" flag.   2 main reasons: 1 - a TON of data is pumped into our datalayer object with the enrichment, and beacuse of that it takes longer to reference the data layer object every time that we do since the object is larger.  Ideally, data would by default NOT be shared.. and we'd simply have an easy option to click a box to have it be shared.  that way we'd push out only what we want.. erring on the side of performance and privacy.   2 - visitor IDs are currently shared with no option for keeping invisibile as 'personal info".       For Backend Code, .. i'll have to get back to you in a bit:) ...

To ping back on this thread - there is not an ability to currently do this cleanly in Audience stream.   However, there are some hacks, below:   1. You can use AudineceSTream in conjunction with iQ.   ---> Create your audience in AS as normal,  ---> find in the enhanced datalayer in iQ the timestamp for when teh audience was entered. --> chckin an JS extensionin iQ if the current date is X days after the audience join date.  if so, set a datalayer flag for AS to pick up as an event variable. --- in AS, make a Remove Audience condition based around that flag.   2. (havent' tried this one, but it should work).  Use AudienceStream webhook connectors to create a GET request hitting your own AudienceStream implementation. --> set up the conector to fire when a user enters an audience. and have the GET request send the tealium ID, as well as some kinda flag designating that the audience was entered. --> set up a Date attribute that gets set to teh current date when the above flag is found. --> set up removal from the audience when the current date is more than 5 days ( or X days) after the Date attribute you created.   Or, I suppose you could send the connector/Webhook action 5 day safter the audience is joined, and use the flag to remove the person from the audience as well.     Hope this helps other people.. was a bit of a pain to figure out:)   ...

@APM, I'm not sure how you're persisting the uid /user ID while logged in - localstorage, cookie, native app variable, audienceStream enhanced item in IQ? But regardless of the method, if you create a new, separate, data layer object that acts as the middle man, and then use that for the mapping to "uid" in the GA tag, that should take care of your issues.  Just add the variable, then create a javascritp extension that feeds the variable from whatever your source is - but add in the conditions that you care about (i.e, only feed it when logged in).  If you want to be extra safe, you could set the variable to null or delete it before filling it each time to make sure it doesn't persist in some angular/app frameworks.   That said - are you sure you want to do that?  removing the UID from google will significnatly limit the analyitcs you can use it for.  Especially for sessionsthat are closely linked to a individual person as app sessions are -even when someone isn't logged in, I'd expect a lot of use for being able to look at their entire session's activity in GA from unauthenticated to authenticated and back.   Also, if you aren't also reseting/clearing the cid/_ga cookie value, clearing the UID may not break the session analytics as much as you were hoping since non-UID properties will still catch the entire session.. ...

Unfortunately not.. If I give George admin rights over profile A, and he creates a user to have javascript/template editing rights for "all current and future profiles", then won't that user essentially have edit rights on all profiles, not just Profile A ... View more

Nevermind - Looks like mapping it to: enh_all-dimensionXX  works:) ... View more

Hey @dan_george, Thx for reply.  I've tried the timeline approach, but am still having isues with the expiration.  I'm trying to for the "can only be in the timeline once every 5 days".   I have: Timeline captuing valid behavior Number capturing count of hits in timeline Problem: when I try to make the number part of the rules in capturing events in the timeline, I get a cyclic logic error and am unable to save/publish.   Any other options? ...

Hi @nicholas_dureau- was this ever resolved for you?  I'm having similar trouble.  We've got a data layer object that we're setting using a set values extension to hold a number (1,2,3, etc). We' mapping that to the enh_checkout_step value in the GA tag - but nothing comes through on the GA event call when we're browsing! This is frustrating. ... View more

Is there any intention on Tealium's side to update the template to passthrough custom parameters in the future? ie if i map data to "xyz", the template would then push the data to URL paramter "xyz" at the end of the GA event call (or have GOogle do it using teh GA methods)? Aside from that, thanks - i'll customize the template... I would just prefer not to have to do that is all. ... View more

Yes, @steve_lake, it matches.  It's making it very difficult to idnetify the actual changes that were made for the production release however.     If my library dev, qa, and prod versions are all identical, and i switch my local profile to use prod instead of qa, i would expect that there would show "0" changes logically...? ...
