WT.dl Values and Functionality

Cause

The Webtrends JavaScript tag supports a number of specific parameters to handle events that do not traditionally qualify as a page view. These kinds of events include clicks on .pdf or other non-page file types, clicks on links leading off-site (which normally would not be logged), and clicks and entries within forms, among others. For each event type, the WT.dl parameter is used with a value specific to the event.

Resolution

The following list of WT.dl parameter values is an excerpt from the Webtrends Unified Event Model:
