To add a new server-side tag, perform the following steps:
Select Tags from the left navigation panel.
Click Add Tag -> For Server on the top-right corner of the screen.
Select the Provider Name or enter the Provider name from the list to proceed further.
Step Result: The New tag screen appears.
Select Trigger.
You can select either the User-defined Triggers or Default triggers using this option and click Done.
Step Result: The tag is triggered for the respective trigger data.
Qualification Criteria of a tag are conditions/triggers that inform Ingest Labs when to trigger a particular tag. You can add multiple Qualification Criteria and these criteria are layered.
Click Add Qualification Criteria.
Select the Data Elements tab for the data elements to be set for the Qualification criteria.
This is the step where you set a name and validity period for the tag. The default validity period is one year for any new tag that is created and can be set to any desired date. To understand tag validity or expiry, see the section Set the Validity period and Tag Expiry.
Name: The Tag name.
Validity Period: Denotes the validity period of the tag including Start Date and End Date.
While creating a tag on Ingest Labs, you can set the validity period of a particular tag and define tag expiry. The default validity period is one year for any new tag that is created and can be set to any desired date. When the expiry date is closer, you will receive reminder e-mail notification about the expiry of the tag. If no action is taken, the tag stops triggering post the set validity period. You can find all expired tags in the “Paused State” in the Publish section and you can remove the expired tags to reduce the size of your SDK.
The Query parameters include the set of dynamic values that are included along with the Base URL while executing the query. These parameters appear in the Attributes section as well along with the values.
The Provider is a mandatory setting while adding a new tag. You can add any number of Provider attributes using the Key-Value pair and configure the settings using the Settings option. The user can view the providers attributes added from Provider side configuration.
For a particular Provider attribute, you must set the value either from the Data Elements or Transformers.
After selecting either from the Data Element or Transformer, the value appears in the Value column.
