PageView Click ID identifier: atclid

By default, AnyTrack generates a click_id for engagements such as OutboundClicks, ViewContent and FormSubmit. However, the standar PageView event does not trigger a click_id.

In some cases, you might want to get a click_id value out of the standard PageView event so that you can use this click_id value at a later stage of the funnel.

The PageView Click ID is usually used to set an identifier to a user.

Generate the atclid variable

The atclid variable is a Click ID generated using the current user session without relating it to any particular event. Use the following code to generate it:

var atclid = AnyTrack('atclid');

Please note that this code will work only AFTER AnyTrack TAG was loaded on your page. In order to verify the code is already loaded, you can use the script:

You can also use it to further do something with it.

AnyTrack(function () {
    var atclid = AnyTrack('atclid');
});
