The available dimensions and metrics that you can read and write using processing rules.

Custom values and context data

Value Read/write status Description
Custom value Read only Custom text or values typed directly in the action of a processing rule.
Concatenated value Read only Values that are created by combining two values. For example, channel and page name can be combined to create a subcategory.

Hit attributes

Attribute Read/write status Description
Page URL Read + write The Page URL dimension. Link tracking hits strip this dimension before reaching processing rules. If you re-insert a page URL value using processing rules, the hit is considered a Page view instead of a Page event. Adobe recommends checking for a value in the page dimension before modifying it.
Page name Read + write The Page dimension. Link tracking hits strip this dimension before reaching processing rules. If you re-insert a page value using processing rules, the hit is considered a Page view instead of a Page event. Adobe recommends checking for a value in the page dimension before modifying it.

Context variables

All Context data variables that this report suite has seen in previous image requests. If processing rules do not place context data into another variable, that data is permanently lost. See Copy a context data variable to an eVar and Set an event using a context data variable for usage examples.
