Simple Filters

Important: This feature is available only if the Audience Designer is enabled for your account. If you have an account without Audience Designer and would like this feature enabled, please log in to My Oracle Support and create a service request. When Audience Designer is enabled for an account, existing classic filters can still be run, edited, and saved as another classic filter, but new classic filter cannot be created in the Filter Designer. If the Audience Designer in not enabled, see Classic Filters for information about filters.

Simple filters provide a way to target a set of records in a list based on specified conditions. You can use the Filters page to manage all filters from one centralized location and to create filters.

You can use simple filters in campaigns and programs, and as building blocks of an audience.

Each filter applies to a specific profile list. This means that you cannot use a filter you create for one list with another list.

If an App Channel list is associated with your profile list, you can create App Channel list filters. App Channel list filters allow you to send cross-channel or Mobile App campaigns to known users and unknown devices. Since an App Channel list is always associated with a profile list, all profile list attributes are available for the App Channel list filters.

If a Web Push Channel list is associated with your profile list, you can create Web Push Channel list filters. Web Push list filters allow you to send web push campaigns to known users and unknown users. Since a Web Push Channel list is always associated with a profile list, all profile list attributes are available for the Web Push Channel list filters.

About Organizational Access

If enabled for your account, the Organizational Access policy controls which objects (profile lists, filters, and audiences) a user can access. The availability of objects is based on the object’s and user’s organization assignment, and the functional role assigned to the user. For more information about Organizational Access Control, see Organizational Access and Targeting by Organization--Overview.

By default, filters are assigned to the user's organizational units during creation. To view and change the organization assignment, click the arrow next to the audience name and select Access Control.

About filter types

A filter has a specific type, which defines the data category of its targeting criteria, for example Profile Data or Email behavior.

You can create filters of one of the following types:

Profile data

By default, profile data filters can include up to 8 conditions, and behavioral filters can include up to 5 conditions.
