Creating events from the RAW data view of session replay

In session replay, you can use the Raw data panel to view the code and raw website data of the steps in a session replay. You can create events or step attributes with the code.

The Raw Data view of the Consolidated session UI includes timestamp information in GMT format. The timestamp indicates when the first http post was received plus the offset for each page. Timestamps show how long a visitor spends on a page. Timestamps that indicate an inordinate amount of time spent on a page might be an indication of customer struggle.

In the raw data view, there is a toggle for Show unfiltered data. This toggle allows you to see the data with no modifications or changes. When the toggle is turned off, the screen view will only show the raw data for the very first hit within the screen. If you turn the toggle on, the headers are all there and all of the data is displayed exactly as it was sent into Tealeaf. Each page or screen view will show all available raw data even if it spans multiple posts or hits.

Note: Standard step events (click, change, etc.) will not show the unaltered raw data at this time, but this data is available on the base page/screen view.

The navigation list for the Raw data includes icons that you can use to differentiate replayable from non replayable objects. Non replayable objects include Network Capture and Akamai hits, which do not include the DOM (html) to replay.

Titles on both the left and right panels are highlighted, so you can view the request and response raw JSON code of the steps you are viewing. There can be several steps in one screen view, and each step has its own request and response code. Collapse or expand the request and response data by using the arrows to the right of the line numbers in the code. All code is expanded by default.

The Response HTML in the Raw Data is the HTML that is generated in response to visitor initiated steps on your website (such as clicks, mobile gestures, and loads). Tealeaf captures the Response HTML and makes it available in the Raw Data view of Session Replay. In Tealeaf, "load" is a type of step response HTML.

Other types of step response HTML are click, value change, and gesture etc.

3. Right-click and select the option for the asset you want to create.
   1. To create an event, select Create event.
   2. To create a hit attribute, select Create HA.
