In a multisite environment, the user interface displays extensions to the rule configurations for the targeting items: user segments, content groups, and targeters. You can use the rule extensions to make these items site-aware.
The following table shows the possibilities for each item type:
Targeting Item | Multisite Rule Features |
|---|---|
User segment | Specify the site on which a rule executes. |
Content group | Specify the site on which a rule executes. Specify the site on which to search for content. |
Targeter | Specify the site on which a rule executes. Specify the site on which to search for content. |
The multisite configuration extensions appear only in the rules. The remaining configuration options for a targeting item are the same in a multisite environment or an unregistered site environment.
The following chapters in this guide contain instructions for the creation and basic configuration of these items:
This section adds to those instructions by explaining how to configure and use the multisite rule extensions for these items.
If you work in an unregistered site environment, you do not need the information in this section.
If you work in a multisite environment, read this section before you start to configure a user segment, content group, or targeter. The decisions that you make regarding the multisite rules affect your choices for the remaining configuration options.
The following approach is recommended for planning and configuring multisite targeting:
Determine the goals for the site.
Plan a strategy for achieving the goals: What actions must occur on each site?
Decide what targeting items are required.
Plan the interaction of the targeting item rules.
Create and configure the targeting items.
The section Examples of Multisite Rule Use shows two basic examples of using multisite rules.
