What options are available for setting up customer user tagging?

Setting up customer user tagging in Dynatrace can be accomplished through various methods, with the most effective being the use of page metadata and the Dynatrace JavaScript API.

The page metadata option allows users to embed information about website visitors directly within the HTML of the pages being monitored. This means that any tags or identifiers that you want to associate with users can be added as metadata, making it easy to track and analyze user behavior in relation to specific attributes or segments.

Additionally, the Dynatrace JavaScript API provides a programmatic way to set user tags. This API can be utilized to dynamically add tags based on user interactions or attributes captured during the page lifecycle. For example, as users perform specific actions or input data, the JavaScript API can be invoked to associate those interactions with the appropriate tags, enhancing the granularity of data captured for analysis.

These two methods combined provide a comprehensive and flexible approach to user tagging, allowing organizations to tailor their monitoring and analysis to better understand user behavior across their applications.
