Bookmarklet: SiteCatalyst Logins

Updated July 2013.

scLogins Example

For my job, I have access to dozens of SiteCatalyst accounts.  These accounts are spread out over multiple login companies, various usernames and different SiteCatalyst versions.  Some have relatively short names, while others seem to require that I type every letter of the alphabet at least three times before I'm able to get past the login screen.

It can be challenging enough to remember the login credentials for the accounts I log into on a daily basis, but when you throw in seldom used accounts....  Forget about it!

After months of logging into each and every account the old fashioned way, I finally decided to take the time to build a simple bookmarklet that does all of the "hard" work for me.

Form Analysis with Google Analytics

I was recently asked to help a client implement the SiteCatalyst "form analysis" plug-in that is available through Omniture's (Adobe's!) consulting services team.  As I worked through the process, I quickly realized that this plug-in has a number of shortcomings that made it unusable for my client.  Some of the issues I found were:

• The plug-in didn't reliably attach itself to all required forms, regardless of which settings I configured.
• Though the plug-in has a variety of options, it is an either/or proposition in most cases.  I wanted the ability to select two options simultaneously so I could send BOTH an s.eVar and an s.prop with slightly different information in each.
• When using the s.useCommerce=true option, the Adobe plug-in allows you to send success events for Complete, Abandon and/or Error.  What about a Start event?  I thought that would provide a more complete view when adding all events to the s.eVar (Conversion) report in SiteCatalyst.

So, I decided to build my own plug-in that answered all of the issues noted above, and then some.

What does this have to do with Google Analytics?
