Edit this site

Each monitored site has its own properties and tracking code. To access the site settings, you must first select a site from the site selector and select "Edit This Site".

Tracking Code

The tracking code is designed to track visitors on your website in real time and to allow operators within your organization to interact with those visitors via live chat and proactive engagement. In addition to live visitor tracking WhosOn also provides historical reporting of visitor activity, chat sessions and operator activity. The tracking code can be viewed from the site properties and will need to be copied and paste it into your website page where you would like the chat button to appear.

<!\-- Embedded WhosOn Start \--\>
  <script type="text/javascript\"
  src="//gateway.whoson.com/include.js?domain=www.test.com"\>\</script\>
  
  <script type="text/javascript"\>
  *if(sWOTrackPage)sWOTrackPage();
  </script\>
  <!\-- Embedded WhosOn End \--\>

Opening Hours

The Opening Hours enables you to define the opening hours for the selected site. If you set a time period as inactive then the chat status shown on your web site via the WhosOn Tracking code will show as 'offline' - regardless of operator availability.

Work Periods are used as opening hours and they can be created via going to Add or Edit Work Periods. For more information on configuring work periods see: https://support.whoson.com/settings_portal/#work-period

Site Time Zone

This option allows you to adjust the time zone on a site-by-site basis.
