Once Activity Map is enabled for an Adobe Analytics report suite, it can not be disabled, and so instead Adobe recommends that you remove the Activity Map module from your implementation to disable the functionality. 

AppMeasurement.js self-hosted

This can be completed simply by accessing your AppMeasurement.js and removing the Activity Map module. 

AppMeasurement.js hosted via the Adobe CDN

By default on console if you type s_c_il it will show the following.

Now to disable Activity Map. You have to use the available latest version of Adobe Analytics Extension so if it is not upgraded then upgrade that.

Go to the configuration of Adobe Analytics Extension and disable Activity Map by unchecked the box

After this publish the build and reload the page and this time the Activity Map will not load and can be checked through the console.

In case you don’t want to stop the tracking through Activity Map but want to limit the tracking then you can check Activity Map Customizer Extension.

Customise Activity Map to exclude particular links or regions on the website from being tracked

s.ActivityMap.linkExclusions = ‘exclude-link1’ being added as custom code the self-hosted Adobe Analytics AppMeasurement.js

Some time the overlay does not appear at all then Under the custom code section of the AA extension put the code below which is required for the activity map data collection by default it is set as false.

s.trackInlineStats = true;

Summary: How to disable Activity Map

You have three options:

• Delete the AppMeasurement_Module_ActivityMap function from the JS file
• Add custom code that rewrites the function above with an empty body, for example:
  • function AppMeasurement_Module_ActivityMap() {}
• Configure AppMeasurement by setting s.trackClickMap and s.trackInlineStats to false
