New Dataset Wizard

The New Dataset Wizard is used to easily set up the analysis of the website.

Step 1: Enter the URL of the website you will be analyzing and press 'Go'. Your site will appear in a preview area.

Sites that span multiple domains require ClickTracks Professional for successful analysis of visitors as they move from one domain to another. A site is considered to be multidomain if a single visitor session can take the visitor to more than one site, and by implication, more than one logfile. Some limited data from multi-domain sites can be extracted from Analyzer if certain conditions are met. See Multiple Domain Websites

Step 2: Specify other names for the site. The wizard calculates common variations of the domain name entered in step 1 such a bobsfruit.com for www.bobsfruitsite.com and also the server IP address.

Important: The alternate domain names list must include all domains that are part of the site. Be sure to include domain aliases that point to the same content, such as www.bobsfruitsite.co.uk. If your site is spans multiple domains or you use external shopping cart, newsletter or similar services, make sure you read Multiple Domain Websites.

Step 3: Select whether your web server is case sensitive in its handling of files. Almost all Unix / Linux servers are case sensitive, while Windows is not. If you don't know then choose 'not case sensitive' as this will almost always be acceptable for any web server. See Case Sensitive Server Files in the options section for more information.

Step 4: Select which server-side scripting language you use on your site, if any. Chose 'static' if you use CGI Perl scripts or another dynamic page script that is not listed. Your choice here influences :

1.	The session cookie ClickTracks will use if present in the logfile to help distinguish visitors with the same IP. See How ClickTracks Determines a Visitor Session and How ClickTracks Uses Cookies.

2.	The default page for the site (index.html, default.asp etc). See Default Pages

Step 5: ClickTracks will suggest a pathname for the dataset. The path defaults to [My Documents]\ClickTracks Datasets\wwwyoursitecom\wwwyoursitecom.tks. The file yoursite.tks is one of several files that will be placed in this directory. If you change the path from the default, be aware that ClickTracks will create many files in the directory you choose.
