Data Collection as a Feature

[nicolepaschen]

We need more tracking in Inspirations about what users are doing.

1. What theme ID is installed?
2. How many times does the user go thru the Inspirations process?
3. Do they use the Start Over feature?

I think that I will work on something in the library and the asset server, to create a general api for collecting data on link clicks.
Something where we can add a class or data attribute to any element, and if that element is clicked, then it will trigger an event matching that attribute ID.

like
<a href="...." data-bg-event-id="38601823" data-bg-event-name="start-over-inspirations">
Then that click will log the event-id, the event name, the associated api user, and the time it was clicked.
That will be a simple way to start collection, and then I can work on ways of organizing that data and creating reports later.

Please do not work on this.
