Data Type

Description

Client Framework data (JSON)

If you are using step-based eventing, data from the client framework is submitted in JSON format and is available through Browser-Based Replay for review and eventing. The JSON data format is documented here with examples. For information about creating Tealeaf events based on this data format can be found here: For Tealeaf on-premise: Step-Based Eventing. For Tealeaf on cloud: Use JSON data to create events and step attributes.

Web SDK message format

The Web SDK uses JSON to communicate with the servers. The data comprising of user interaction, document HTML, and page lifecycle events are assembled into an array of messages. This list of messages, along with information about the client environment and additional metadata about the page, is packaged into an HTTP POST request.

screeviewOffset	Integer	Milliseconds since the most recent screenview LOAD event.
type	Integer	The message type as shown in the Message types table.

Message Body

Depending on the message type being sent the message will have additional properties as follows:

Type 1 Client State message

This message type contains information related to the dimensions of the content and the viewport. It is logged by the Web SDK after page load, resize, scroll and unload events. For page scroll events, the Web SDK consolidates the scrolling action which can result in hundreds of individual scroll events into a single message.

Property name	Data type	Description
deviceOrientation	Integer	The orientation of the device in degrees. 0 = Portrait (default), width < height 90 = Landscape, width > height The following are additional values for devices that provide detailed orientation information. -90 = Landscape, device turned clockwise 180 = Portrait, device inverted
deviceScale	String	Ratio between the screen width and the viewport width.
event	String	The event that triggered the client state information to be logged. This can be “load”, “scroll”, “resize” or “unload”.
pageWidth	Integer	The width of the document element.
pageHeight	Integer	The height of the document element.
viewPortWidth	Integer	The width of the browser window.
viewPortHeight	Integer	The height of the browser window.
viewPortX	Integer	The horizontal scroll value in pixels.
viewPortY	Integer	The vertical scroll value in pixels.
viewPortXStart	Integer	The horizontal scroll value at the start of the current scroll event.
viewPortYStart	Integer	The vertical scroll value at the start of the current scroll event.
viewTime	Integer	Milliseconds viewing the page before the current scroll event. For the “attention” event, this represents the time on the page since the load event.

		"deviceScale": "1.000",
		"viewTime": 8688,
		"viewPortXStart": 0,
		"viewPortYStart": 0
	}
}

Type 2 Screenview message

This message type indicates a logical screen change within the context of a single page. In an extreme case, for a single page app there will be only one page load event even though the visitor may experience the app in the form of multiple distinct screens.
These screens are represented in the Tealeaf data stream using the type 2 screenview messages. These messages can come from the following sources:

Built-in defaults: The Web SDK will log a type 2 screenview message corresponding to page load and unload. The screenview name for this built-in message is either the URL hash fragment (location.hash) or "root" if there is no URL hash fragment. The Web SDK can optionally be configured to always log the initial screenview name as "root" irrespective of the URL hash fragment. Refer to Screenview loads are associated with the URL fragment for details. When configured to do so, the Web SDK will also log a type 2 screenview message corresponding to the load of any frame/iframe content. The screenview name for this built-in message is "rootWithFrames".
Automatic detection: The Web SDK will automatically detect when the URL hash changes and it will log a screenview message. In this case, the screenview name will be the value of the URL hash and depend on the application. e.g. "#checkout", "#billing", "#confirmation" etc.
The Web SDK will also detect changes to the URL made by the app using the HTML5 History API which does not result in a new page load. Such URL path changes would also result in a screenview message being logged with the screenview name as the URL path.
Automatic detection is enabled by default.
Screenview logging API: The application can be instrumented to use the TLT.logScreenviewLoad and TLT.logScreenviewUnload API. The screenview message will use the screenview name that was passed to the API.

Property name	Data type	Description
dcid	String	DOM Capture identifier for matching this type 2 message with the corresponding type 12 DOM Capture message.
host	String	The protocol and host (HTTP origin) of the page.
name	String	The screenview name. Refer to the prior explanation for how this name is derived.
referrer	String	The referring screenview name. This is only required when nesting child screens within a parent screen. e.g. “#creditcard” screenview nested within the “#payment” screen would have “#payment” as the referrer screenview. Screenview nesting can only be indicated through the logging API. The automatic detection cannot identify nested screens.
type	String	“LOAD” or “UNLOAD”
url	String	The URL path of the page.

Example 1

{
	"type": 2,
	"offset": 12,
	"screenviewOffset": 0,
	"count": 1,
	"fromWeb": true,
	"screenview": {

	"screenviewOffset": 0,
	"count": 7,
	"fromWeb": true,
	"screenview": {

		"host": "https://www.uictest.com",
		"referrer": ""
	},
	"dcid": "dcid-2.1552951476924s"
}

Type 4 User Interaction message

This message provides information related to the user interaction with the various elements and controls on the page. Multiple consecutive interactions with a single control are consolidated into a single message. For example, a user clicking/tapping on a text input and typing some text into the control will result in the co-ordinate information from the click/tap event being consolidated with the text information from the change event.

Property name	Data type	Description
accessibility.id	String	Optional property containing the `aria-label` attribute value of the target element.
currState	Object	Object containing the current state information of the target control.
dcid	String	DOM Capture identifier for matching this type 4 message with the corresponding type 12 DOM Capture message.
dwell	Integer	Milliseconds between the control receiving focus and the current event.
event	Object	Object containing the event type corresponding to the user interaction.
focusInOffset	Integer	Milliseconds since Web SDK initialized on the page and when this control received focus.
id	String	Unique identifier for the target element with which the user interaction occurred. This will usually be the HTML id of the element. If the element does not have a HTML id attribute then the Web SDK will derive an XPath value by tracing the location of the element in the DOM tree. If the application uses an attribute other than HTML id to uniquely identify the element then the Web SDK can be configured to use this attribute to generate the id.
idType	Integer	Enumerated value indicating if the id string is HTML ID (-1), XPath (-2) or based on a configured Custom Attribute (-3)
isParentLink	Boolean	True if the target element is a child of a link element.
Name	String	Name attribute of the HTML element (if any)
position	Object	Object containing position information for the target element and mouse/tap information.
position.width	Integer	Width of the target element in pixels.
position.height	Integer	Height of the target element in pixels.
position.relXY	String	Relative x,y position of the click/tap event on the target element.
tlType	String	Type of the target element.
visitedCount	Integer	Number of times the element was visited during this screenview. To count as a distinct visit, the element must lose and regain focus.

		"url": "http://uictest.com/h4/",
		"line": 93,
		"repeats": 7
	}
}

Type 7 Performance message

This message provides information regarding the W3C Navigation Timing properties. In addition, this message has the render time of the page calculated as the difference between the domLoading and loadEventStart timing properties.

This message does not report timing information for each screenview within a single page app. For a Single Page Application(SPA), the browser provides only the Performance Navigation Timing for the initial page load. It does not track the virtual page transitions (screenviews) which occur within the SPA context. Since the browser does not provide any rendering performance data, it is up to the application to try and achieve an approximation of the page render time for the screenview transitions.

Depending on the application architecture, there can be several proxies that can provide an indication of the screenview render time.

In most cases, this metric corresponds to the duration of the AJAX network request that is responsible for fetching the content or data to be displayed for the new screen. If the application uses the AjaxListener module, this timing information should already be available in the Tealeaf session.
Another approximation for the screenview render time could be to use the time during which the spinner is enabled. If you already use the spinner in a delayUntil trigger for DOM capture, use the difference in time between the type 2 screenview load and the corresponding type 12 DOM capture as the approximate screenview render time.
In some cases, applications may perform multiple network requests and/or extensive client-side processing of the network response data before rendering it on the screen. In such cases, applications will need to measure the end-to-end time from the initial request for the new screen to the final DOM update, which completes the rendering process. The application can then log this measured time as a custom event.

For monitoring screenview level timing within a single page app., the application will have to insert markers within the Tealeaf JSON stream using the TLT.logCustomEvent API to indicate when the screenview load is started and completed.


Type	String	String value “NAVIGATE”, “RELOAD” and “BACKFORWARD” representing the three W3C Navigation types.
redirectCount	Integer	W3C redirect count property
renderTime	Integer	Difference between domLoading and loadEventStart properties.

unloadEventStart unloadEventEnd redirectStart redirectEnd fetchStart domainLookupStart domainLookupEnd connectStart connectEnd requestStart responseStart responseEnd domLoading domInteractive domComplete loadEventStart loadEventEnd	Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer	Each of these properties represent the offset value in milliseconds from the navigationStart epoch. Their definitions are in the W3C PerformanceTiming interface specification.
