Question

I have the following filter for one of my profile:

  • filter type: Include Pattern Only
  • filter field: user_defined_variable (AUTO)
  • filter pattern: \[53\]
  • case sensitive: no

In my content, I have the following javascript:

_userv=0;
urchinTracker();
__utmSetVar("various string in here"); 

Now, the issue is that in this profiles, there are files that are showing up in the report that shouldn't. For instance, for a specific profile, in the Webmaster View > Content By Title, a page with the following variable (as seen from the source) shows up :

__utmSetVar("[3][345]")

I have no idea why this is happening. The filter pattern doesn't match thus it shouldn't show up.

Was it helpful?

Solution

It turns out that it's supposed to include files that may have a different pattern. The reason is that it will report on all the files that were seen during a single visit, which includes other files with different custom variables.

To see the report on the custom vars:
