Required elements for all events

GA Code	Name	Value
t	Hit type	pageview,event,timing
v	Protocol version	1
tid	Tracking ID	UA-XXXXX-X
cid	Client ID	Device ID

The Client ID (cid) is an identifier used by Google to identifiy a visitor. When using Google analytics.js script this identifier is allocated the first time and stored in a Cookie for later used. This identifier is used for session management and visitor ratios.

sagepepmme dll

The sagepepmme dll is an helper dll for Desktop and Server side Applications.

The dll is available in 32 and 64 binary formats and support both Ansi and Unicode string format.

A first set of methods uses the Unicode string format : sagePEPxxx(), an alternative set of methods is available, add "A" to the method name, sagePEPxxxA() to call sagePEPxxx() with an Ansi string instead of a unicode string.

sagepepmme js

The sagepepmme.js is a javascript wrapper for analytics.js

Using the sagepepmme.js

Include the sagepepmme.js in your script section, you can include the minimized version or the debug version.

<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/sagepepmme.min.js"></script>

or

<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/sagepepmme.js"></script>

The sagepepmme defines a javascript module inside a _sageMME namespace

You can get a reference on this module using window._sageMME.pep

<script>
   var _GA = window._sageMME.pep;
   _GA.setSettings(data);
</script>

Note : The sagepepmme.js script includes the Google analytics.js loader, you don't have to include analytics.js in your html page.

Initializing the module

The module maintains some globals which can be set by the setSettings() function.

function setSettings(data) {};

member	type	used for
enable	boolean	This is a global flag which enable or disable the tracking.
ua	string	The tracking ID to be used.
dialogUrl	string	The url of the inrollment dialog, overwrite the default
cd	structure	Static custom dimensions

An example of data structure to initialize the module :

"GA":{"enable":true,"ua":"UA-55379346-6","cd":{"dimension1":"000000","dimension2":"Sage FRP 1000 Suite Financière-7.0.0.0","dimension4":"00000000000000000008000000640028"}}

Sending page hits

Use the sendPageView function to send pageview hits.

function sendPageview(data) {};

member	type	used for
pageName	string	The name of the page
pageTitle	string	The title of the page
pageModule	string	The module name of the page

Example :

var _GA = window._sageMME.pep;
_GA.setSettings({"enable":true,"ua":"UA-XXXX"});
_GA.sendPageView({"pageName":"acountForm", "pageTitle":"Account entry", "pageModule":"Accounting"});

Sending events

Use the sendEvent function to send event.

function sendEvent(data) {};

member	type	used for

Example :

var _GA = window._sageMME.pep;
_GA.sendEvent({
'eventCategory':'System',
'eventAction':'Browser',
'eventLabel':navigator.userAgent,
'eventValue':1,
'cd7':'Webtop'
});

Calling the inrollment dialog

The module has support to manage the inrollment dialog.

Use the showDialog function to display the inrollment dialog.

function getDialogDiv(idName){};
function showDialog(elt, callback){};

• getDialogDiv() lets you redefine the default id name of the container element.
• showDialog() display the dialog in an iframe an call you in response.

Example :

var _GA = window._sageMME.pep;
_GA.showDialog(_GA.getDialogDiv("pepDialog"), 
	function(e) {
		// PEP callback
		// manage result here
		// e.data is a struct with result member
		// This code update the user status on the server side
		_myAjax.sendJSONService(_myGA.pepJSONURL, function(object, error)
		        // server answer with the new settings for GA
			// redefine GA settings
			if (object.GA) _GA.setSettings(object.GA); 
		}, null, null, e.data, true);
	}
);

Enrollment dialog

The enrollment dialog manage the opt in / opt out user workflow.

The dialog is a simple dialog which doesn't require a server back end.

Using from a desktop program

The dialog may be call by a desktop program using Microsoft Internet WebBrowser control.

The calling process must monitor the navigation to catch the user reply.

see dlgpep.pas for calling example.

Using from a web client

The dialog may be call in an IFrame. The user reply is send via messaging to the parent container.

see the sagepepmme.js for calling example.

Parameters

The dialog has two optional parameters

Parameter	Value
status	The current enrollment status of the user
lang	The user language

• The "status" parameter is used to pre check the acceptance checkbox.
• The "lang" parameter is used to set the user language, if not set the navigator language is ued. Note that IE control do not set the language so you may have to explicitly set it.

Translation

The dialog may be translated to any user language. As describe before the user language is either passed as an argumet or defined by the navigator language.

Translation files are json files which are located in the localize folder.

guisagepepdll

guisagepepdll is a unit test program.

You don't need to deliver it with your release but you can used it for test purpose.

guisagepepdll.exe uses guisagepepdll.ini for configuration.

Settings

You must change the GAUA parameter to switch to your own Google Analytics test tracking ID.

Minimum execution

You must execute :

• TestSagePEPOK

Test the presence of the dll

• TestSettings

load configuration in the dll

before testing event or hit functions.

Testing the proxy

The proxy settings may be used to resolve proxy problems. By default, the dll used the system proxy configuration.

• TestProxySettings

Load the proxy configuration of the .ini in the dll

• TestSystemProxy

Reset the default system proxy configuration
