This is the Google Tag Manager custom template for the settings of the Snowplow Analytics JavaScript tracker.

The Snowplow Analytics Settings variable template is a template interface for building and bundling tracker settings to be used in the Snowplow Analytics tag template.

It has been designed to be used with the Snowplow Analytics custom tag template.

Work on the template should be done in Google Tag Manager's native template editor. This is to ensure the template has access to all the latest features of the template editor, and to make sure it passes GTM's own validation when exporting the changes.

To import the template into Google Tag Manager:

1. In a Google Tag Manager web container (any container will do), browse to Templates and click to create a new template.
2. From the template action menu, choose Import.
3. Locate the template.tpl file from this repo, and import it into the template editor.

Make the changes you wish. Make sure the unit tests pass (in the Tests tab of the editor). Update the tests if necessary.

Once you're done, follow these steps:

1. Save the template in the template editor.
2. From the action menu, choose Export.
3. Replace the template.tpl file in this repo with the exported file (make sure to keep template.tpl as its name)..
4. Commit the changes to the template.tpl file.
5. Copy the commit hash.
6. Edit metadata.yaml in the template folder, and add the hash with its changeNotes as the latest version.
7. Move the previous latest version into the list of Older versions.
8. Save changes to metadata.yaml and commit them.
9. Finally, push the changes to the repo (should include the commit to template.tpl and the commit to metadata.yaml).

After pushing the changes, Google Tag Manager should update the template in the community gallery within some hours to some days.
