AppMeasurement for JavaScript has historically been a common method to implement Adobe Analytics. However, with increasing popularity of Tag Management Systems, using tags in Adobe Experience Platform is recommended.

A high-level overview of the implementation tasks:

How to implement Adobe Analytivs with AppMeasurement for Javascript, as described in this section.

1Ensure you have defined a report suiteReport Suite Manager
2Download the required JavaScript code for AppMeasurement from Code Manager. Unzip the file.Code Manager
3Add AppMeasurement.js to your website's template file. The code contains the libraries required to send data to Adobe. 
<head>
  <script src="AppMeasurement.js"></script>
  …
</head>
4Define configuration variables within AppMeasurement.js. When the Analytics object is instantiated, these variables make sure that data collection settings are correct. 
// Instantiate the Analytics tracking object with report suite ID
var s_account = "examplersid";
var s=s_gi(s_account);

// Make sure data is sent to the correct tracking server
s.trackingServer = "example.data.adobedc.net";
Configuration Variables
5Define page-level variables within your site's page code. These variables determine specific dimension and metrics sent to Adobe. 
s.pageName = "Example page";
s.eVar1 = "Example eVar";
s.events = "event1";
Page Variables
6Send the data to Adobe using the t() method, when all page variables are defined. 
s.t();
t() method
7Extend and validate your implementation before pushing it out to production.
