Creating a content spot

In this topic, you will learn how to create a content spot.

Use the Personalization Editor to create a placeholder called a content spot for the rule that renders the selected content on a Web page. Then, specify which rule to place in the content spot by creating a rule mapping. In this example, the content used is a resource collection.

Before you begin this procedure, ensure you have created the simple content rule Show Gold Offers for the Personalized Offers resource collection.

Note

You must use the same name as the original content spot's display name. Do not place the new content spots into a folder unless your display name already includes slashes. Place them directly into the root Workspace.

  1. Return to the root directory in the Personalization Navigator.

  2. Click New > Content Spot to display the Personalization Editor.

  3. Type Pzn_offers spot in the title field of the content spot.

  4. Select Pzn_offers from the Output Type drop-down list.

  5. In the Default Mapping section, click the magnifying glass icon.

  6. Expand the Pers Offers folder in the tree and select Show Gold Offers.

  7. Click OK.
