Data Capture

The capture process is responsible for storing tracking data.

Page load tracking

The capture process runs when a page is loaded. The specific mechanism used to trigger this depends on the type of site involved. See installation instructions for details.

Route change tracking

For sites that use client-side routing (e.g. single-page apps), the Uniform tracker must be notified that the route that has changes so it can track the new page.

Uniform provides a sample JSS app with client-side routing enabled that demonstrates how to incorporate the Uniform tracker.

Programmatic tracking

There are times when you need to capture visitor activity programmatically. The Uniform tracker API can be used to do this. The following code sample demonstrates how to capture a goal that is defined in Sitecore:

var data = {    "id": "28a7c944-b8b6-45ad-a635-6f72e8f81f69",    "name": "Instant Demo",    "points": 0};var e = { type: 'goal', date: new Date(), data };var settings = { visitorId: uniform.visitor.id };uniform.tracker.event('visit-activity', e, settings);
