The SetTimeOut function

To trigger a "time on site" Event you can use the function: setTimeout

This Event accepts an Event Name as well as a an encoded time value.

The snippet below

setTimeout(function() {  
  //Replace LongVisit with any other event name
	AnyTrack("trigger", "LongVisit");  
  //10 seconds is encoded
}, 10e3);  

This code will trigger an event name called LongVisit 10 seconds after the the user has been on the page.

You can update the triggering time clock as you see fit based on the following encoding.

Examples:

• 10 seconds is encoded 10e3
• 120 seconds is encoded 120e3
