The site displays these advertisements to potential customers through a series of scenarios. These scenarios ensure that only the investors who don’t own the Quincy Growth fund, for example, see the promotional Quincy Growth fund image. Review the scenario that caused the Quincy Growth fund image to display.

To review the scenario that caused the Quincy Growth fund image to display:

(Note that both segments contain more elements than an appear in this image. Fork elements for each locale have been removed to allow the image to display.)

This scenario consists of two segments or strings of actions. By grouping related segments in the same scenario, you can manage them as a unit: when you want to cancel the Quincy Growth fund promotional campaign, you can stop both segments by disabling the scenario.

The E-mail Fund Promotion Segment

This segment dictates that on May 1st 2000 at 12:00 am, all visitors who indicated they’d like to receive e-mail communication and haven’t already invested in Quincy Growth fund will receive the Quincy Growth fund promotion mailing. The segment syntax identifies those visitors who are investors and have their receiveEmail property set to yes.

This scenario is triggered by a time/date element: 12 am on May 1, 2000.

Only investors are included in this scenario.

Only those investors who indicated they’d like to receive e-mail are included in this scenario.

A fork separates this condition from the next two, which means that if this condition isn’t met, the following two will be.

This element identifies those user profiles that contain growth.xml in their Fund List.

This element works in conjunction with the next element. Only those who don’t own Quincy Growth fund will be affected by the next element.

An e-mail advertising Quincy Growth fund is sent to those who meet the people conditions. View the e-mail through the Pages and Components > Pages screen, by following the supplied path. Use the View > Preview option to see how it will appear to recipients.

The scenario ends.

All investor profiles contain a property called Fund List, which lists their holdings. Of the identified investors, some have invested in the Quincy Growth fund, and, therefore their Fund List property contains the value /repositories/Funds/en_US/growth.xml. The remaining investors will receive the promotional e-mail.

The Show Promotion Segment

The second segment, Show Promotion, implements the image behavior you viewed previously: to present a Quincy Growth fund image to potential investors. This segment begins with a time element, ensuring that the image serves as a Quincy Growth fund reminder, because the image displays on the site only after the e-mail has been sent. All visitors who register or log in and haven’t invested in the Quincy Growth fund will see an image advertising it on their home page.

This scenario is triggered by a date element: the days between May 1st and December 31st 2000.

A fork allows for several different actions to be included in this scenario. Any visitor who logs in is affected by this scenario.

Also, any visitor who registers is affected by this scenario.

Another fork divides the scenario into two courses of actions.

If the visitor’s profile contains the Quincy Growth fund in the fund list, the scenario jumps to the final element.

This element works in conjunction with the proceeding element. Only those who don’t own Quincy Growth fund will be affected by the next element.

The site places an image advertising Quincy Growth fund in the slot for those investors who’ve met the mentioned requirements.

The scenario ends.
