Create New Target Expression Screen

Use the New Target Expression screen to create target expressions to specify the customer to whom you want to target advertisements and discounts. Target expressions can also target request context. For example, target expressions can target the Web site from which the customer is visiting, the current page group, the time of day, or an HTTP cookie.

Note

If a condition or value is not listed, it is not valid in the context of the expression. For example, a different set of operators will appear if the target is based on an expression instead of on a user object.
