Applications

What is an Application?

Applications in Journium map directly to user applications where tracking is enabled. They have a one-to-one mapping with user apps. A Journium app is not a physical app in the traditional sense but a container to hold all configuration and settings related to tracking events, configuring insight trackers, and viewing app insights.

How to Create Apps

Create Application

Go to your Journium dashboard. If you have no apps you will land at the app listing page. Click on the Create application button, give a name for your application, and click Create application.

Done

When you create an app in Journium, it creates a default Development instance. This is for quick testing.

App Instances

An app can have two types of instances: Development and Production. These instances are independent of each other in terms of their configuration. The production instance is what you should track for production purposes. All features are available in both instances. You can create a production instance after you test adequately event generation, trackers, and insights in the Development instance.

The instances can be switched in the instance selector in the dashboard. The API keys are different for the two instances.

Development Instance

The Development instance is created by default when you create an app in Journium. It has lower usage quotas that are suitable for local testing and development purposes.

Production Instance

The Production instance is what you should use for tracking in your production environment. You can create a production instance after you have adequately tested event generation, trackers, and insights in the Development instance.

Configuration

The configuration of an app is done in the Journium dashboard. You can configure the app by clicking on the app in the dashboard and then clicking on the Configure tab in the sidebar. You can provide the configuration parameters directly on the SDK configuration. If not specified, the configuration that you supply in the dashboard will be used. The configuration in the SDK takes precedence over the configuration in the dashboard. The following settings are available.

Event Capture settings

This section allows you to configure the event capture settings for the app.

Capture Clicks

When enabled, Journium will capture clicks on the app. Enable or disable the toggle switch to capture clicks on the app.

Capture Form Submissions
