Some people use UTM to track traffic sources, but in adobe there is no UTM-like dimension by default, only one campaign code(cid). However,UTM-like effects can be achieved with some settings. Let’s take a look at how to set it up:

Convert UTM to cid structure

Copy the code below to CONFIGURE TRACKER USING CUSTOM CODE in the Adobe Analytics Extension, the purpose of this code this code is to convert UTM to cid structure:

var page=document.location.href;
if(page.match("utm_medium")){
       var queryString = page.split('?')[1];
       var utm=decodeURI(queryString);
       var v="";
         for (var i=0;i<utm.split("&").length;i++)
           { 
              v+=utm.split("&")[i].split("=")[1]+"|";
            }
        s.campaign=v.substring(0,v.length-1)

  }
