To open the Tracking Sensors window, select Targeting from the main ATG Control Center menu and then select Tracking Sensors. The following window appears:
Targeting > Tracking Sensors
Note: If the Tracking Sensors option does not appear, use scenarios instead of tracking sensors to track visitor behavior. Please refer to Creating Scenarios for more information.
The Tracking Sensors window is divided into three panels:
The Tracking Sensors panel on the left lists the tracking sensors available for your Web site. These sensors are divided into the following categories: Session, Pages, Content Items, and Content Types.
Note: You add individual tracking sensors to the Page, Content Item, and Content Type categories by clicking the New Tracking Sensor toolbar button in the top right corner of the window. (For details, see the Adding New Tracking Sensors section.) However, as described below, the Session tracking sensors are pre-defined. You cannot add new Session sensors; you need only to create action statements in order to use them.
The When a Visitor panel shows the events you can track within each category. These events are preset; you cannot change them or add new ones.
Session. Track when a visitor:
starts a new session
ends the session
logs in
logs out
registersPages. Track when a visitor views a particular page.
Content Items. Track when a visitor views a particular content item, such as an HTML or GIF file.
Content Types. Track when a visitor views content of a particular type, such as HTML or XML.
The Performs These Actions panel lets you create action statements that control how visitor profiles are updated in response to selected tracking events. For more information, see the Creating Action Statements for Tracking Sensors section.
