Global Page View Tracking Variables

Map these data variables in your Global Page View Code Snippet:

Account ID

Variable	Type	Example	Dependencies	Description
br_data.acct_id	String	Variable Example: "1235"	Must be consistent with acct_id passed in API call.	The Bloomreach-provided Account identifier.

ptype

Variable	Type	Example	Dependencies	Description
br_data.ptype	String	Variable Example: "homepage"	Getting an accurate page type (ptype ) classification is a major component for all of Bloomreach's products.	Maps your site's page type classifications to the values Bloomreach expects for our page type classifications.  Required on all page views, including desktop, mobile, and tablet versions.  Bloomreach has 7 Page Type classifications. See classification examples below.

Scenario	Example
Home Page Classification	Any home page or landing page that is considered a home page needs to be classified as br_data.ptype = "homepage"
Product Page Classification	Any product, product bundle, product collection or sku set pages need to be classified as br_data.ptype = "product"
Category Page Classification	Any category listing pages, category product listing pages or pages that you consider a category page need to be classified as br_data.ptype = "category"
Search Result Page Classification	Any search listing or search results pages need to be classified as br_data.ptype = "search"
Content Page Classification	Any content pages need to be classified as  br_data.ptype = "content"
Thematic Page Classification	Bloomreach Thematic pages need to be classified as br_data.ptype = "thematic"
Other Page Classification	Any Conversion/ Thank You pages as well as any page types that are not one of the above need to be classified as br_data.ptype = "other"

title

Variable	Type	Example	Dependencies	Description
br_data.title	String	Variable Example: "Blue Lace Dress"		The title of the current page. Bloomreach uses titles when listing pages in analytics reports for Insights.   If you do not have <title> tags set in your HTML, you must add this variable to your pixel.   Every page on your site should have a different title.

Domain Key (Required for multiple language versions)

Variable	Format	Example	Dependencies	Description
br_data.domain_key	Variable Type: String This field value is case-sensitive.	<accountName>_fr	Pass same Domain Key in the API call	The Bloomreach-provided ID of the domain receiving the request. This parameter identifies the specific site language version when one account ID hosts multiple site versions with different languages. Bloomreach uses this value to ensure that only query and analytics data that pertain to that language are used for respective features.

Additional Information
This parameter is only required if you integrate on a site with multiple language versions. Otherwise, domain_key should not be declared in the pixel as this will cause issues with analytics. The Bloomreach integrations team will inform you whether domain_key will be required for your pixel integration during the technical kickoff call.

View ID (Required for multiple site versions)

Variable	Type	Example	Dependencies	Description
br_data.view_id	String This field value is case-sensitive.	Variable Example: "10200"	Consistent in Pixel, API & Feed.	Identifies the specific site catalog view to show when one Bloomreach account ID hosts multiple site versions with unique product catalog characteristics, such as product price, availability, or title.  Bloomreach uses View ID value to display the right product information for a user based on their site view. This must be consistent in the pixel, API and product catalog sent to Bloomreach.

Additional Information
This parameter is only required if you integrate on a site with multiple site versions with unique product catalog characteristics. Otherwise, view_id should not be declared in the pixel as this will cause issues with analytics. The Bloomreach integrations team will inform you whether view_id will be required for your pixel integration during the technical kickoff call.

User ID (Required for tracking users with a universal customer ID)

Variable	Type	Example	Dependencies	Description
br_data.user_id	String	Variable Example: "947345478564"		If you track users via a universal customer ID, populate this parameter with that ID.  This should be an anonymized string (e.g. 947345478564). It should not contain the user's email or other personally identifiable information.

Additional Information
This parameter is only required if you track users via a universal customer ID . This will allow Bloomreach to recognize users in a way that is aligned with your system for various personalization features.   If you do not track users this way, leave this blank.

Tms (Required if you are transitioning from one tag manager to another)

Variable	Type	Example	Dependencies	Description
br_data.tms	String	" tlm "		The name of the Tag Management system, that should be filtered out.  In case of migration from one tag management system to another, there may be a transition time frame, when the pixel is fired by two systems simultaneously. Setting the "tms" param will allow  Bloomreach analytics system  to filter out duplicate pixels.  Bloomreach has the following Tag Mgmt classifications: tms="tlm" for Tealium

Additional Information
This parameter is optional and only required during the transition time from one tag management system to another.  Leave this field empty, if this scenario does not apply.

Catalogs

Variable	Format	Example	Description
br_data.catalogs	Array of Catalog objects	"[ { "name" : "example_en_prd" } ]"	List of catalogs that are shown in the page. In case the page has multiple tabs, only the catalogs of the selected (and visualized) tabs should be included. If multiple catalogs are shown in the active page (or tab) all of them should be included.

Test Data (for test environments only, do not declare on live site)

Variable	Description
br_data.test_data="true"	Flags pixel data to be ignored during analytics processing. This ensures that you can fire the pixel in a test environment, allowing you to perform pixel validation without affecting your analytics data.   Do not declare test_data in the pixel for your live site.

Multi-currency Variables

Native App Implementation

To implement the Global View Pixels in the native app, you must include the following variables. For details on the native app implementation format, refer to the Non-JS Environment section in the Getting Started page. 

• acct_id (see above)
• ptype (see above)
• domain_key (if needed, see above)
• catalogs (see above)
• view_id (if needed, see above)
• user_id (if needed, see above)
• test_data (if needed, see above)
• cookie2
• rand
• title
• url
• ref
• type

Name	Variable	Description	Example
Anonymous Identifier	cookie2	Anonymously identifies a particular device instance using a unique user ID (UUID). Format is uid={{UUID}}:v=app:ts=0:hc={{hitcount}} For the UUID, we suggest the following: iOS devices - use the IDFA Android devices - use the Android Advertising ID Other devices - use the closest equivalent The hitcount value should be 1 for a new visitor, or 2 for returning visitors.	uid%3D1e7724c751a3f6e6241018d150144832e7528383%3Av%3Dapp%3Ats%3D0%3Ahc%3D1
Cache Buster	rand	A random number that is added to request to make sure browsers and proxies don't cache requests.	79069731271669680
Screen Name	title	Screen name of the app view.	Blue%20Lace%20Dress
URL	url	Synthetic unique URL composed of a static base URL and a screen app screen name. Base URL: http://merchantname.app/ To help maintain uniqueness, prefix the screen name with the page type classification. http://merchantname.app/{{ptype}}/{{title}} ptype and title values here should match the values in their respective variables.	http%3A%2F%2Fmerchantname.app%2Fproduct%2Fblue%2520lace%2520dress
Referrer URL	ref	Synthetic URL from referrer screen. Follows same format as url param above.	http%3A%2F%2Fmerchantname.app%2Fcategory%2Fdresses
Tracking Type	type	The type of tracking fire. For pageviews, type=pageview
