Possibility to tag/mark/flag visitors directly in piwik backend

[hpvd]

A possibility to tag/mark/flag visitors manually directly in the visitorlog with an individual text (simple text input field)
Should be stored only within piwik as something like a label or addition to visitor ID

And of course it would be helpful to be able to filter via segment-editor for this...

One of several use-cases:
This would be really helpful, to manually mark visits with special characteristics you find during visit analysis when trying to find problems with your website etc.

some of this was already mentioned as a sideline in #1839

[hpvd]

hmm maybe one do not need a complete new "field" but the possibility to add a custom variable afterwards via the piwiks backend in visitorlog? or is this within the piwik cookie? Of course this tag/mark/flag should stay within piwik...

Thanks for the suggestion @hpvd

@Mattlab Would you see this as a piwik function or as a new plugin?

[mattab]

@hpvd it could be both, but maybe it would make more sense as a new plugin

[hpvd]

to more questions @Mattlab:

• do you have any advise/ preference already in mind how this could/should be implemented from technical pow?
• are there any plans on possibilities how one could vote for / or help with partial sponsoring
  to give new features one like a good position on the global roadmap (at least for a raw but usable version)?

Not really, didn't think about this yet. I guess we would need a new dimension for visits (new table column), and then let Piwik user tag the visitors within the Visitor Log. This new dimension could be available as segment.

unfortunately no, we are very much under resourced and we are focused for the next 6 months on Piwik 3.0: https://github.com/piwik/piwik/milestones/3.0.0

Best way to be heard about features is to post a comment in the issue, because we read all comments :-)

EDIT: let's discuss this feature here or privately before working on it

[hpvd]

since this feature could be done best directly in visitor log, #6111 should be needed for this too

[B2Bi]

Tagging would bring great value to the piwik platform. The first and most needed tag feature would be to associate a ip address or the "user profile". Put to a vote from the end users I have to believe this would be one of the top three features they would like to see. It's my #1. Keep up the good work

• Tag waiting end user

[mafrieger]

+1, tagging would make Piwik even more unique.
We would also appreciate a possibility to vote for features or something like a donation account to give great features a boost....

[hpvd]

this would perfectly fit within a standardised approach for all actions on tracked data, described in #9182

[ReessKennedy]

+1 for this feature!

[mirabyte]

+1 as well! Would be really a helpful feature!

[mattab]

Will this feature maybe need a column in the log_visit table (and other log_* tables) ? Wondering if we can do this now or need to wait for Matomo 4 to introduce the new column to all users. @diosmosis @tsteur

[tsteur]

Would need to wait for Matomo 4 probably :( We could maybe use a new log table for it though? be best and what I had roughly in mind for this anyway as you would need to store lots of additional data?

[mattab]

by lots of additional data, are you think we'll need to support multiple columns and not just one?

Btw, maybe we could use Custom Dimensions of "Visit scope" to store the "tagging" information, or is there some disadvantage to using custom dimensions?

[tsteur]

by lots of additional data, are you think we'll need to support multiple columns and not just one?

yes I'm thinking you want to tag people with multiple tags/notes/labels.

[sgiehl]

Why do we need to add that to the log_visit table? Can't we use a new table and join that on log_visit. Maybe #14062 might help with that

[mattab]

Using a new table to store the multiple tags/notes/labels sounds good to me @sgiehl @tsteur

[piered]

I think it would be useful to be able to trace the display of html5 videos inside a page. I tried, but at the moment this activity is not recorded ...
Thank you!

[mattab]

Maybe to make this feature happen later we could implement it in a more generic way for example creating a "Custom Dimension of Visitor/User scope" to complement our Visit-scope and Action-scope dimensions? Then when marking users, we'd mark the visitor ID rather than the visit. This more generic feature could also be re-used later by a feedback tool or Net Promoter Score feature.

Ajouté la possibilité de marqué une visite et un visiteur :

Il serait bien de pouvoir marqué un visiteur, ou même un visite, par exemple, pour la retrouvé plus facilement, parce que c'est une visite "modèle" et que je veux pouvoir la revoir et la gardé comme référence, ou bien parce que cette visite c'est mal passée, et que je veux garder le parcours de l'usager pour améliorer mon site...
Bref, plain de possibilité avec cette potentiel fonction, d’où l'idée de l'ajouter !

Et du-coups, cela en est ou ?

And so, where in is that ?
