About tracking code on OutStem

You can add custom Javascript to your OutStem forms using the Sysadmin application. You can add scripts in two locations of the page: in the <head> section and in the <body> section. The code is appended to the end of both sections. The code you add to the custom injection should be in correct JavaScript syntax, or the script will not correctly behave.

OutStem only supports Javascript Injections, you cannot inject HTML using the code injection feature.

Because is a single page application, we emulate the page load effect desired by analytics tools like Google Analytics by removing your script and loading it again every time the user navigates to a new page.

Tracking code you add is loaded on the following pages:

Forms Portal Page
Program Details Page
All Registration forms (events, workshops, and programs)

Loading external scripts in JavaScript

If your analytics vendor requires you to load some external javascript using the following syntax:

<script src="https://some-tracker.com/tracking.js"></script>

You need to change that syntax to the following format before adding it to Sysadmin.

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = "https://some-tracker.com/tracking.js";

script.onload = function () {
    // Perform initialization with the tracker script
};

document.head.appendChild(script); //or something of the likes

Common analytics scripts

Google site tag (gtag.js)

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = "https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=<YOUR_SITE_ID>";

script.onload = function () {
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', '<YOUR_SITE_ID>');
};

document.head.appendChild(script); //or something of the likes
