   2. Click the Filter button to filter. Click Clear to clear the content.
      1. Click Filter below the filter list to apply, or Cancel to close the filter menu.
      2. To remove existing filters, click Clear all filters. If filters are in place, the filter button changes to Filtered.
   3. The selected content’s title displays in a grey bar at the bottom of the dialog box. To change the layout of the content, click the Layout menu and select an option.
   4. Click Select Content.

   If no content is selected, the grey bar at the bottom of the dialog box displays Current Selection: No Content Selected. Click Save to save the current selection or Cancel to close the dialog box.

   

   Content recommendations are based around content filters, and recommendation settings. When you click Add content, the Recommendation tab is highlighted, containing the Content Filter and Recommendation Settings fieldsets.

   1. Fill out the fields based on your website needs.
   2. Click Preview criteria to move on, or Cancel to discard.

   Mixed campaigns use the rules of their sub-tests.

4. If more than one campaign rule affects a single slot, click Prioritize Experience to set the order in which those personalizations are delivered. If the slot isn’t found, this option isn’t available.

   

   Note

   Newly created personalizations on a slot receive first priority. Successive prioritization changes are saved in the order you specify.

5. Drag the campaign rules to change priority. Rules evaluate top-to-bottom in the list based on which segments a visitor matches.

6. Continue by making any other changes.

7. When finished, click Confirm or Confirm criteria to move on, Edit Criteria to return to the filter selection (content recommendations only), or Cancel to discard.

If you have confirmed the content selection, the added content renders in the slot. Content also renders if you have selected Preview mode.

Using campaign content filters¶

Several types of filters are available for narrowing your content selections. Filters vary and are dependent on the campaign type.

The following filters are common to all tests:

• Content Type: Enter one or more content types, comma separated
• Tags: Click Select Tags, and then click one or more tags. Type in the field to filter. In content recommendations type of campaigns, content returned matches one or more tags.
• Publish date: Click Select a date to open the date picker. The date picker has the following options, selectable by radio button:
  • Range: Choose two dates. Content published between these dates displays.
  • Before: Content published before the selected date displays.
  • After: Content published after the selected date displays.
  • Period: Click Please select a period to choose from the following periods: last 7 days, last 14 days, last 30 days, last 60 days, or last 90 days.
