Expand analytics tracking to include views by format, facet usage tracking

eporter23 commented 1 year ago

We currently have some custom Google Analytics event tracking so that we can report on views by Collection and Library. In addition to this, it would be very helpful for us to be able to report on views by format of material, e.g., if we want to assess the use of images over books.

It would also be helpful to copy over the facet click/usage event tracking that we implemented for Library Search so we can monitor that behavior in Emory Digital Collections.

[ ] Add event tracking to our existing analytics implementation to include the "format" field. For DLP, the SOLR fieldname is content_type.
[ ] Copy over the facet usage tracking from Library Search to Emory Digital Collections (this enables us to see clicks on facet headings as well as facet values): see prior work done in Library Search 667

Reopening because it needs testing and a deploy to prod.

Looks good in the test analytics! This is ready for prod whenever we do our next deploy.
