• Once you have selected the desired standard events, be sure to click on the "Save" button located at the bottom of this section.

NOTE: Elevar Client Side Tracking versus Google Tag Manager for Web Events

If you are using the Elevar Client Side tracking and you select the "Web" option for the desired events, there is no further setup required.

If you are using Google Tag Manager for client side tracking, then you will need to redownload the web container and update it in your GTM workspace to see the new standard web events.

Push Standard Events in your Data Layer:

Access Dev Console:

• Once you have enabled the new expanded standard events in your destination, you will need to push them in the data layer. Begin on your website and right-click on the screen. An additional pop-up menu will appear, click on the "Inspect" tab.
• An additional window will appear, use the top navigation menu to click on the "Console" tab.
  • (See Figure 4)

Add Standard Events:

• Once inside of the dev console on your website, call and push the desired event that you have enabled in the destination in the location where you would like the event to trigger.
  • Read this section of the article to view sample events that can be pushed in the data layer for the new expanded standard events.
