Definition

Gate load

A single load of a gate on a webpage. This will normally coincide with the page load and is not dependent on user interaction. All gates record this event.

Form view

Form start

This action is recorded when the user starts interacting with fields on a gate's form. For fully pre-populated gates, this event is recorded when the user submits the form. This event is not recorded by blind submission gates.

Form submission

This action is recorded when a user directly submits a gate's form. This event is not recorded by blind submission gates.

Blind submission

Blind submissions can be raised by open gates. This process is detailed in this Knowledge Base Article about blind submissions

Content consumption
