Disable external tracking?

Hello,
Is it possible to disable external tracking on a link-by-link or email-by-email basis? I've run into a few sites that we need to link to which do not cooperate with the appended query string parameters, some which disagree so much that they throw up an error page listing the parameters as unknown instead of displaying the content we intended our audience to see.
The only way to disable this that I have found is through unchecking the box Setup > Email Configuration > [_] External Tracking  - but that's an account-wide setting, and this is only required on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Leigh,
We are running into the same issue with needing to only apply external tracking to links going to our websites. We have a lot of clients who we post ads for in our newsletters, and we are wanting to disable external tracking for their links.
Sometimes their sites don't accept foreign query strings which causes the URL to come up with an error page.
We also have clients who use the same standard query strings as we do, and they provide their links with these query strings already applied. When Eloqua then applies our external tracking query strings they overwrite the client's values.
Is there any query string that can be appended to a URL that will tell it to ignore external tracking for that link? Or can you think of any other workarounds? We have tried using redirect links, and are able to get around the main issue, but then when we have to report back to our clients, the links contacts are clicking on are not the URLs they provided. We can replace the redirect URL with the client's URL manually, but we send hundreds of newsletters from all of our different brands, so this manual workaround has become a bit of a nightmare.
If there is nothing out their currently, is their anything in the roadmap that might support this functionality? I read in another post from Jeff Butwell that it is a feature that is being considered (Can you manually override Google Analytics external tracking in an email?). This was over a year ago.
Thanks!

  • Disable External Control in AnyConnect programmatically (Android)

  • Disabling external sharing in OneDrive for Business for selected users

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to disable external sharing option in OneDrive for Business for a few user and allow external sharing for a selected users. Is this possible?
    What I know is, we can enable or disable external sharing for all the users who use OneDrive for business by configuring Sharing option for My site collection at "xxx-my.sharepoint.com". But I want to know is if it is possible to handle this at
    user level by doing changes to "xxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user_domain.com" site collection.
    Thanks,
    Lakshmi

    Thanks Vasil for your reply. Yes, as you mentioned, removing edit option or admin access is not the right solution for my requirement. I just want to know why My site collection is tightly coupled with personal site collections. Many users will use OneDrive
    to store data and share it with others internally and externally. So, as a security measure there should be some option to enable this only for a specific users. Hoping someone will give me idea to achieve this.

  • HT4623 I just lost my iPhone 4, then someone picked it up & disable the tracking feature.

    Note I just lost my iPhone 4, then someone picked it up & disable the tracking feature in iCloud.
    If that person use this stolen iPhone, can apple store trackiong him & blocked him? or even reset the phone status to default. Serial # of this iPhone is 86107QW6A4T.
    Note iPhone is now a very personal item in life, we may drop & lost, or even stolen or by attack to kinapped, strongly request Apple can do something to protect their loyalty customers & their image, no one can stole iPhone, no one can use something which not belong to them, once the device is registrate, only change with by actual owner's authorization whne them sell or gift.
    Even your turn off the tracking feature of Find My iPhone, but we still can found by seria # with GPS founction. Is this against the law of privacy?

    The phone can no longer be tracked by you if it's not signed into your apple id, not even by Apple. It can't be tracked by the serial number either.
    The registration of the device can be changed by the person who has access to the serial number, which I know is unfortunate, but that's how it works.
    It's against the law to steal an iPhone, for sure.
    If the tracking feature of Find my iPhone is turned off, the device is no longer broadcasting a GPS signal. If someone were to sign into the phone with their apple id, it would then be trackable by them but by no one else
    It's against Apple's Privacy Policy to access personal information on the phone unless they explicitly need it for troubleshooting purposes. This is unfortunately not one of those instances.
    The best thing you can do is call your local law enforcement and report the phone as stolen

  • Disable external monitor

    Is there a proper way to disable external monitor that was connected to my mac?
    I used iDisplay on my iPad as an external monitor few days ago, and now it won't go away.
    Preferences>display I can still see VGA display although my iPad is not on wifi, or even when my iPad is off. Right now, I have been using screen res x to resolve this problem temporarily, but there is going to be the proper way to disable it right?
    my iPad resoultion is 1024X768, so whenever I restart my mac, it turns to 1024X768 during the login password and installing update which is not very pretty.

  • Is it possible to disable the track pad while typing?

    Is it possible to disable the track pad while typing?

    I don't believe there is a way to do it natively.
    However there is an app called BetterTouchTool which enables you to fully customize the trackpad. You could increase the sensitivities so that it doesn't activate while your typing.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to disable external VGA and also enable onboard VGA

    hello,
     my spec is
    cpu corei5 ivybridge
    mis zh77A GA43
    vga hd7770 msi
    i want to know, how to disable external VGA and also enable onboard VGA ??
    and
    i want to ask too, if i disable external VGA In MB, it is my external VGA still consumption power? or i must unplug my external VGA ?
    how much different power consumption between external VGA and onboard VGA on idle time?
    because my computer each night be used for download, i want to save power as i can...
    also there is a eco mode? i want to know about eco mode, how much power can be save under eco mode? on idle time computer
    sorry my bad english

    Well remove the HD7770 and is disabled and doesn't consume any power. You can't enable or disable it the discrete vga when pc is in use. That board does also not support Virtu.
    The possible power saving beacuse of eco mode depends on the individual systems. There is no general value. Just try it. 

  • How to disable external display (s-video adapter)

    My problem is this:
    I have the new iMac in my office and I have my widescreen TV (CRT non-HDTV) on the other side of the wall in the living room. I recently purchased the Apple video adapter so I could run a s-video cable through the wall to my TV. I got it to work fine but how do I disable it? If I have mirroring on (only way to use Front Row) my iMac screen resolution drops obviously but I can't turn native screen resolution back on without either a) turn off mirroring b) remove video adapter.
    Surely there is a better way to do this?
    Joshua.

    I'm not a hundred percent sure this will work for you since I've never used svideo out on my mac before, but if it works similar to dvi out, then do the following:
    1. Set you tv up as extended desktop rather than mirror. This will allow you to set different resolutions on the internal and external monitors.
    2. When you want to use the TV for front row, drag the Menu bar from the internal monitor to the external monitor in the monitors system pref. This will make your tv the controlling monitor and front row will play on it.
    3. When you finish with front row, drag the menu bar back to the internal monitor.
    Again, this works when I have my dvi cable connected to my tv, I'm not sure if a svideo output is treated the same way, though I would think it should be.

  • How disable external display

    How can i disable my external display on my Imac? I use the second output for my ntsc TV, but sometimes i dont use it. If its connected, sometime apps put windows on the second display and its annoying. How can I s/w disable the external display?

    Joe,
    The Mac "remembers" where windows are, and usually will not move them back if you disconnect your external display.
    Generally what I do if I launch and app and can't see its window (because its on the non-existent external display) is click the "Window" menu, then click "Zoom". This usually brings it back to the main display.

  • Add specific hotkeys for vlc (disable video track without disabling audio track)?

    There's no way to add hotkeys for [menu bar > Video > Video Track > Disable] under Preferences or Advanced.
    When I use [SysPreferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts > '+'] to add a hotkey for "Disable", it applies to audio also [menu bar > Audio > Audio Track > Disable].
    How do I disable the video track without going through the menu bar? Can I go into vlc.app and edit it? Or is there an app that will help? Or is there a way to specify which (menu bar>disable) I want to add hotkeys to, in application shortcuts?
    I'm actually using 10.8 if that matters.

  • Anyone know how to disable a track pad?

    I and several others have problems with erratic track pad behavior, and the posts I've seen over the past couple of months haven't gotten any effective replies.
    The cursor behavior is the same as if you were using a mouse and the left button sticks on; you can jiggle it off with an amount of effort that's unacceptable for routine use and it usually sticks again immediately. If I plug in a mouse, the same problems remain, which I interpret as meaning that the trackpad malfunction keeps the cursor control in the "left-button-on" state and the mouse input is just an additional signal.
    Others who have reported similar trackpad problems also say their problems continue when using mice or external trackpads. I'm 99% sure that if communication between trackpad and processor is shut off, the mouse will control the cursor normally.
    I don't see anything in the System Preferences to do this, can it be done from the Console?

    That would imply that there are human-based reasons for the constant relocation of setting controls from version to version of applications and operating systems. It would be satisfying to believe this, just as it used to be nice to anticipate Santa's presents and Easter eggs. This does not seem consistent with these bizarre alterations in Apple software, however, and if you look at the revision patterns for software from a certain firm in the state of Washington, you will see that human decision making processes cannot explain the patterns for the extremely large number of "snipe hunt" events reported by users. One disturbing hypothesis is that the code modifying entities may have entered from an adjacent multidimensional universe and are slipping up by assuming that we can see links in orthogonal space. It goes without saying that I have a bad feeling about this. Where's the Doctor? We may need him.
