LogRocket automatically captures mobile pages (defined as ViewController for iOS and Activity for Android) and tracks this under the Visited URL attribute. These URLs are then referenced in Path Analysis, Heatmaps, and URL filters in the LogRocket dashboard. This API allows you to tag sub pages, for more granular filtering and metrics.

tagPage() can be used to tag a sub page of the currently running Activity or ViewController. Manually tagging pages can help improve the specificity of metrics in LogRocket. This tagged page will be combined with the running Activity or ViewController to form a URL of the form https://{Bundle ID or Package Name}/{Activity or ViewController Class Name}/{Relative Page Tag}. These URLs can be referenced in Path Analysis, Heatmaps, and URL filters in the LogRocket dashboard.

LogRocket.tagPage("Apparel")

LogRocket.tagPage('Apparel/Sweaters")

LogRocket.tagPage("Apparel/Pants")

🚧
Make sure to only tag pages when the page is visible on screen, as opposed to when it is created.

📘
We recommend tagging pages hierarchically as you would define website URL paths.
The maximum supported relativePage tag length is 500 characters. A warning will be generated if the provided relativePage exceeds this length.
Page tags are url encoded according to Uri.encode on Android and with allowed characters urlPathAllowed on iOS. ‘/’ will remain unencoded.

Tracking mobile pages with page tags only

The view tracking system normally updates event URLs when views move in and out of scope. This can be turned off entirely by disabling automatic lifecycle capture. With lifecycle capture off, URLs will be updated exclusively by tagPage calls. This may be useful, for example, if path analysis steps are best represented by groups of multiple views, as opposed to a sequence of individual views. In this case, the grouped views should each call tagPage with the same identifier.

To opt out of automatic lifecycle capture and rely on manual calls to tagPage, initialize LogRocket with the configuration value enableAutomaticLifecycleCapture set to false. This feature is available on version 1.47.4 and above of the React Native SDK.

🚧
Note that if automatic lifecycle capture is disabled, it is important that tagPage be called consistently across your app. If new views appear without a call to tagPage, subsequent events will inherit their page name from the last tagged page. Additionally, it is recommended to call tagPage immediately after initializing a LogRocket session so that user interactions at the start of a session are associated with the proper page.
