When you preview your site, you need to specify your visitor attributes. In other words, you need to specify the person you want to “be” when you look at a particular page. You can do this by editing the property values in the ATG Control Center’s test profile.
As you preview your site, click the Refresh toolbar button to update your test profile with the latest data from the ATG server. This shows you how your profile properties change as you perform various actions on the site.
To specify your visitor attributes:
Click Step 1 Specify the attributes of the person you want to be.
A two-column table displays the profile properties and values for your hypothetical site visitor. The properties and values come from your site’s profile repository.
Tip: The table contains Login and Password properties. However, you do not need to specify values for these properties in order to preview a page. For example, assuming your profile repository contains a Gender property, you can specify Male as the Gender value to preview a page as any male visitor.
Set the values for the properties you want to use by clicking in the appropriate Value cells. (You can adjust these values later if necessary.)
Depending on the property, you can enter values in one of the following ways:
Type text directly into the Value cell.
Select a value from a drop-down list.
Click the “…” button to add, remove, or edit values in a pop-up editor window.
For more information on specifying properties, please refer to Setting Up Visitor Profiles
After you specify your visitor attributes, you can define a date and time or select the page you want to preview. (For details, see Specifying a Date and Time and Selecting the Page You Want to Preview.)
