Automatically map eVars, props and events without processing rules

[marcvdbergh]

Expected Behaviour

Directly map eVars, props and events to Analytics in the same way name, server and siteSection are directly mapped without a processing rule.

Actual Behaviour

Some webPageDetails are mapped directly others must be added with a process rule which adds an extra maintenance level.

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Steps to Reproduce

Platform and Version

WebSDK

Sample Code that illustrates the problem

"web" :{
		"webPageDetails" : {
		 "name" : "MySite:Home",            // Automatically mapped
		 "server": "www.mydomain.nl",    // Automatically mapped

          	 	 "previousPageName": "MySite:Home",   // Mapped manual in processing rules to eVars/props
          	 	 "pageDomain": "www.mydomain.nl",      // Mapped manual in processing rules to eVars/props

desirable situation

          	 	 "eVar":[
					"1":"ValueForEVar1",
					"3":"ValueForEVar3" 
					etc ... 
					],
          	 	 "prop":[
					"1":"ValueForProp1",
					"2":"ValueForProp2" 
					etc ... 
					],
          	 	 "events" : ... same thing...

@dancingcactus @vivasd What are your thoughts about this request?

[dancingcactus]

@marcvdbergh Is the desire to have an XDM mixin with props, evars and events. Or to just have a place where you can pass in props, evars and events for them just to land in Analytics?

[marcvdbergh]

Just a place to pass props, evars and events directly to Analytics to avoid having to add extra maintenance in the processing rules to pass every metric one by one.

@marcvdbergh, this has been implemented last week. If you use the Field Group "Adobe Analytics ExperienceEvent Full Extension" and set your props as _experience.analytics.customDimensions.props.propX then it will automatically map now

[patrickhegnauer]

was this mixin intended to use for front-end data collection? As I spoke with Adobe they told me it is not best practice to use this mixin as it was created for CJA to export data from AA into AEP?

[marcvdbergh]

Sounds nice! Is it implemented for eVars/events also? Could you share the documentation when ready? Thanks!
