<h1 class="page_title">Extending Event Tracking</h1>
<p>This document describes the following Event Tracker wrapper libraries that are available for download:
</p><ul>
<li><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/samples/time-tracker.js"><code>TimeTracker()</code></a></li>
<li><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/samples/mouseover-tracker.js"><code>MouseOverTracker()</code></a></li>
</ul>
<p>
These samples illustrate how to extend Event Tracking via reusable
wrappers to easily implement site-wide Event Tracking for common web
objects. You can save these files to a script directory and reference
the script from the <code>&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;</code> section of your HTML page.</p>
<p><em>NOTE:</em> All samples fall under the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">Apache2 license</a>.</p>
<h2>TimeTracker</h2>
<p>The time tracker example demonstrates the wrapper logic required for
tracking elapsed time durations. Its two primary features are:
</p><ul>
<li> recording duration</li>
<li> creating histograms for elapsed time segments</li>
</ul>
<p> In its most basic implementation, <code>TimeTracker()</code>
creates a category with the name "TimeTracker," records a start and end
time, computes the difference, and sends that value to the Google
Analytics reports. The resultant reports show the average time duration
for the "TimeTracker" category, how many of these measurements were
taken, and displays a histogram of default time values as the various <em>Actions</em> for that category. </p>
<p>For added functionality, you can specify your own histogram values to <code>TimeTracker()</code>. You implement this by passing in a list of milliseconds, which then delineates the histogram segments as the various <em>Actions</em> for that category. The <code>TimeTracker()</code>
library classifies the tracked duration into one of these buckets, and
records the range of values as the name for the bucket. Finally, you can
also specify custom start and end times rather than using the default
current time, for those cases where you need additional logic. </p>
<p>You can use event tracking to monitor latency for average page loads,
video load times, Flash interface set up times, or even to gather
average latency statistics for scripts embedded in your site.</p>
<h3>Functions</h3>
<p>
</p><table>
<tbody><tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>TimeTracker(opt_buckets_array)</code></td>
<td>The constructor that returns a new time tracker. You can pass in the histogram buckets here as an option to specifying them in <code>_setHistogramBuckets()</code>.</td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt">
<td><code>_recordStartTime(opt_time)</code></td>
<td>This method records the start time for computing elapsed duration. Optionally, you can use a user-specified value.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>_recordEndTime(opt_time)</code></td>
<td>This method records the stop time for computing elapsed duration. Optionally, you can use a user-specified value.</td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt">
<td><code>_setHistogramBuckets(buckets_array)</code></td>
<td>The passed-in array specifies the cut-off points that separate out buckets. For example, if the array is <code>[10, 20, 50]</code>, then the buckets will be: &lt;10ms, 10-19ms, 20-49ms, &gt;50ms.
If the histogram buckets are not set, then the default set of historgram values are used: <code>[100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 5000]</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>_getTimeDiff()</code></td>
<td>This gets the current time difference between the start and
end time for this tracker, as an option to use for other applications.</td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt">
<td><code>_track(tracker, opt_event_object_name, opt_event_label)</code></td>
<td>This method makes makes the actual call to the specified GA
Tracker object. You must ensure that the start and stop time are
recorded before calling <code>_track()</code>.
<ul>
<li><code>tracker</code> should be the default Google Analytics tracker object instantiated for your pages (e.g. <code>pageTracker</code>).</li>

<h2>MouseOverTracker</h2>
<p>The <code>MouseOverTracker()</code> utility demonstrates a very
simple use case where you can track only the initial mouseover on a page
element. While you can always do this by attaching the event tracking
call to any <code>onMouseOver()</code> event, this method is
discouraged. Because the user will likely move the mouse over and out
from the object many times within one pageview, your reporting numbers
will likely be bloated (and therefore not parcticularly useful). Most
importantly, the limits for events per session would likely be reached
in that case. Hence, this wrapper tracks an initial mouseover and
ignores any subsequent calls, providing you with the ability to track
initial visitor mouse overs for a particular object without inflating
event numbers.</p>

<td><code>MouseOverTracker(tracker)</code></td>
<td>The constructor that returns a new mouse over tracker object. The <code>tracker</code> option should be the default Google Analytics tracker object instantiated for your pages (e.g. <code>pageTracker</code>).</td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt">
<td><code>_trackMouseOver()</code></td>
<td>The first time this method is called, a mouseover is tracked. Subsequent calls will do nothing.</td>
