Application key settings

These settings control the application key.

An application key (AppKey) setting is used to identify and sessionize the mobile application with the Tealeaf for SaaS and Watson Customer Experience Analytics services. Contact your administrator for the value of the application key for SaaS service.

For on-premise service, you need to know if on-premise is using cookies for sessionization. If cookies are used, you need to provide a cookie name. You can use TLTSID as the cookie name.

Note: It is recommended that each mobile application is assigned a unique application key. However, application keys can be used with more than one application if the same data is being captured from each application and you want captured data from multiple applications to be grouped as a single entity.

Item ID Description Values
AppKey An application key is used to identify and sessionizethe mobile application with the Tealeaf for SaaS and Watson Customer Experience Analytics services. String

TealeafLayoutConfig.json

The settings defined in TealeafLayoutConfig.json to log type 10 screen layouts for screenviews of native mobile application sessions. The AutoLayout controller also enables the application to automatically continue logging type 10 screen layouts when it resumes to the foreground.

Edit the TealeafLayoutConfig.json to configure AutoLayout to log screen layouts. Each AutoLayout entry has the following sub-entries.

Sub-Entry Description Values
do Indicates if the screen should be logged or not.

  • true: Logs the screen
  • false: Does not log the screen
 Boolean
screenViewName Provides a custom identifying name that is assigned to the logged screen in JSON.

For example, to set the screenViewName for a login screen to LoginScreen, this is how your value should look:

	"screenViewName": "LoginScreen",
String
delay The amount of time, in milliseconds, that is used to delay the screen logging action. Increasing the value of this setting increases the amount of time that must pass between when the screen is loaded and when the screen logging action occurs. The delay value is used for do and takeScreenShot. Number
takeScreenShot Indicates if a screen capture should be taken for the controller class.

  • true: Performs a screen capture
  • false: Does not perform a screen capture
 Boolean
AppendMapIds Assigns an identifier to a target item. You can assign a readable identifier to the mid that maps to the target item. You can then configure events to fire when the identifier is encountered. You can use the same identifier for Android and iOS devices to create a single event in the Event Manager that fire on the identifier. The event fires for devices.

For example:

  "AppendMapIds": {
	"[PWDV,0][ABOL,0][FL,0][TH,0][LL,0][TW,0][LL,1][LL,0]": {
		"mid": "LoginButton"
	},
		"ibm.com.demoapp.main_activity_login:id\/send": {
			"mid": "LoginButton"
	}

Use the mid setting to assign an identifier to two targets. The first target is for an iOS device and the second target is for an Android device. The target for both devices is identified as LoginButton. You can create a single event that fires when LoginButton is encountered in either application.
