Example: Simple binding

Because bindings couple the conditional processing of a profiler with the functional power of an action, the simplest form of a binding works like a conditional "if-then" clause.

Consider a simple binding example. If the current user is not a previous customer, then show a limited number of current offers. If the current user is a known customer, then show offers appropriate to their status level.

For example, the profiler Customer Type is used to check whether the current user is a known customer. If the customer is not a known customer, the action Get Limited Number of Offers is run. If the profiler indicates that the user is a known customer with a status of Gold or Platinum, then a different action is run and different offers are retrieved for display.

         Gold or
         Platinum
             do Get Offers For User
         order as is
