What is Piano Analytics tagging
Data collection / Piano Analytics / Getting started piano analytics / What is Piano Analytics tagging?
Piano Analytics Tagging (Events) only fuels Piano Analytics.
The data collected through its use will not be taken into account within the Analytics Suite 2.Please don’t use Piano Analytics Tagging if your websites are certified (ACPM / Mediamétrie)
Piano Analytics is the logical progression to our Analytics Suite 2, a solution that has been continuously developed for over 20 years and endorsed by tens of thousands of customers. With its user-centric, ethical-by-design and value driven data model, Piano Analytics synthesises product & marketing analytics, while solving the serious data quality issues facing the industry.
An extensive, flexible and unified data model ensures you truly understand how users are interacting with your brand:
The data model is unique to your organisation. It encompasses all the events measured across all platforms, properties and metrics. Every analysis, segment, dashboard and resource will work across the entire organization, regardless if your analysis is on a single platform or on multiple platforms.
The data model provided by Piano Analytics is composed of events and properties:
- The events correspond to the interactions you want to measure
- The properties correspond to the context and information related to these interactions
The tagging of your perimeters (websites, applications, servers, connected devices, …) should therefore follow the following logic:
What is the element I want to measure, and what information should be linked to it to allow me to measure its performance?
Piano Analytics is available with over 70 standard events and 450 standard properties, which you can use immediately.
Feel free to consult the documentation on standard events.
To this you can add as many custom events and properties as you wish, in order to measure your own business information.
You want to start your implementation by collecting your first audience measurement data.
To do so, we will use the events and properties provided by default by Piano Analytics data model.
We will simply fill in the name of the event we want to measure, and link the properties that allow us to understand this interaction:

page.display |

If you want information about the tracker initialization and the use of the CDN for the smarttag.js library, please read the dedicated article.
We are now going to measure a click on the page on which we have just placed our first tag.
This click will contain context, i.e. information related to the environment in which it was made. We are going to trace the page, and the chapters of the page, on which the click took place:
tag.events.send('click.navigation', // Event name
{
'click': 'click name', // Event properties
'click_chapter1': 'click chapter 1',
'click_chapter2': 'click chapter 2',
'click_chapter3': 'click chapter 3',
'page': 'page name',
'page_chapter1': 'chapter 1' ,
'page_chapter2': 'chapter 2' ,
'page_chapter3': 'chapter 3'
}
