Containers

Containers are the foundation of Mapp Tag Integration, organizing and managing the deployment of tags, plugins, and rules. Each container is a self-contained environment designed to align with your website’s structure and tracking requirements.

1 What Is a Container?

A container acts as a central repository for all tracking components within Tag Integration. You can configure containers for specific environments, such as:

• Publicly accessible websites: For live production environments.

• Internal test systems: For QA or staging environments.

• Multiple domains or regions: Each container can be customized for unique configurations or shared across websites.

2 How to Create a Container

Follow these steps to create a new container in Mapp Tag Integration:

1. Log in to Mapp Intelligence

   Access your Mapp Intelligence account and select Tag Integration from the header navigation.
   
   

2. Start a New Container

   Click New Container. A dialog box will appear, allowing you to specify the container’s details.
   

3. Specify Container Parameters

   Provide the following details in the dialog box:

   • Title: Enter the name of the container (e.g., Main Website Tracking).

   • Type: Choose the container type (web or mobile).

   • Domain Inclusion: Define the domains where this container will be active. Mandatory for container type “web”. For example:

     .example.com,example.de

     Important Notes:

     • To track all (sub-)domains, ensure the domain begins with a leading dot (.), e.g., .mydomain.com.

     • When listing multiple domains, separate them with commas without spaces (e.g., .domain1.com,.domain2.com).

     • The total length of all characters in this field must not exceed 2048 characters.

   • Domain Exclusion (Optional): Specify domains where the container should not load (e.g., qa.example.com).
     

4. Select Static Mode (Optional)

   In Static Mode, parameter values must be defined via the data layer or HTML node relations.

   JavaScript functions are not allowed except for wts.get().

   1. Working Examples:

      _ti.pageName
      _ti["pageName"]
      wts.get('pageName')
      document.location.href

   2. Non-Working Examples:

      document.getElementById('foo').value
      Date.now() + '' + parseInt(Math.random() * 10000)
      (function(){ return 'foo.bar'; })()

5. Save the Container

   Once all parameters are defined, click Create. The new container will appear in the container overview, ready for further configuration.
