Defining Page Events

What are page events?
Page events are tags for a URL on your site or a group of URLs defined by a rule you can set. Whenever a URL that complies with the rule you set is loaded by a visitor, the predefined tag is attached to that pageview.

For example, you can create a condition in which pages that meet a specific rule such as ‘containing: product page’ will receive the event “product”.

In this way you can group templates of content or layout together to see how these perform in comparison to other templates.

Visitor events, that are triggered by visitor interaction, can be defined in code within the page. See this article.

What are coded events?

There are two types of coded events:


 * Those created automatically by the system, such as "jserror" (JavaScript error event) which is provided by default.


 * Depending on your plan, ClickTale also provides site-code events. These are 'coded' events within your web site. The ClickTale system can discover these events and list them in the user interface, allowing you to add a description to the events.



You can use an event to filter and segment recordings, heatmaps, funnels and forms (according to your plan's restrictions).
