TiQ Switch
Please be advised that this is no longer a valid way of switching Tealium iQ environments. So, please only use this blog post for reference purposes.
A minimalistic profile and environment switcher bookmarklet for Tealium iQ.
I created this bookmarklet to make it easier for myself to switch between different environment and profiles, while working with Tealium iQ implementation and debugging.
Tealium already made a profile/environment switcher.
But I encountered issues with that one, and chose to create this very minimalistic alternative, for use by myself, and the team I work in.
To get some open sharing of Tealium iQ helper tools going, I have now decided to make it publicly available.
I hope you find it useful, and welcome comments and contributions.
Information about other helper tools you might know of, will also be greatly appreciated.
If you choose to make your own versions, or just make updates to this one, then please do share your work 🙂
All the best,
Peter
