This installment continues from Part 1, diving into the breakdown of xDB Peek’s information categories and upcoming features.

Contact Section

The contact tab houses all xConnect-related contact data, including:

Identifiers - A comprehensive list of assigned identifiers and merged accounts, containing source, identifier value, type, and validity status.

IsKnown - Indicates whether a contact has been identified using methods beyond Sitecore’s default identifiers, such as through the IdentifyAs() function or direct xConnect assignment.

ExpandOptions - Displays available facets for xConnect interaction, functioning as a registry of known facets.

ConcurrencyToken - A GUID that Sitecore applies to all facets. Mismatched tokens during save operations trigger an error, preventing facet overwrites. Each object possesses a unique token.

LastModified - Timestamp of the most recent contact modification.

Id - The primary contact identifier visible in Experience Profile URLs and the Contacts table within shard databases (distinct from tracker contact IDs).

Visit Data Section

Current interaction information specific to the active web visit:

  • BrowserInfo - Browser identification data including major name, minor name, and version.
  • ChannelId - Current visit’s assigned channel, variable based on traffic source.
  • DeviceId - Associated device identifier from Sitecore’s device registry.
  • GeoData - Geographic information derived from IP geolocation services (available free in Sitecore 9.x).
  • HasGeoIpData - Boolean indicating geolocation data availability.
  • InteractionId - Unique identifier for the specific web visit.
  • Ip - User’s IP address in hexadecimal format (requiring hex decoding).
  • Keywords - Keywords assigned to the interaction.
  • Language - Current visit’s language designation.
  • ScreenInfo - Device screen dimensions as Sitecore perceives them, based on browser-provided data.
  • SiteName - Identified Sitecore site from the sites configuration node.

Pages Section

Comprehensive listing of all pages visited during the current interaction, excluding pages from previous sessions. Contains page title, URL, and blank-window status.

Goals Section

Records goals triggered during web visits or out-of-channel activities, displaying engagement value, title, UTC timestamp, current/past visit designation, and associated event data.

CurrentGoals - Goals triggered within the current session, enabling Sitecore to personalize based on present-session activity.

PastGoals - Goals triggered before the current visit, allowing personalization based on historical behavior. Current session goals transition to past goals upon visit closure.

Facets Section

Lists all available contact facets populated from ExpandOptions. Example Personal facet contains birthdate, name components, gender, job title, language preference, concurrency token, and modification timestamp.

Profiles Section

Tracks current and historical pattern card assignments based on profile scoring:

CurrentProfiles - Active pattern cards with profile name, score, count, and pattern details.

PastProfiles - Historical pattern cards with scoring frequency, totals, and individual score records by key-value pairs.
