Associating Target Groups with Component Presentations

After you have created a Target Group, you can specify the Target Group within a Component Presentation on a Page.

Procedure

  1. In Content Manager Explorer, create or edit a Page.
  2. On the Component Presentation tab, select the Component Presentation for which you want to set Target Groups.

  3. Click the Target Group subtab.
    A series of check boxes, one for Everyone and one for each Target Group, appears.
  4. From the list on the left, select a Component Presentation which you want to hide from a certain Target Group or Target Groups, and show to others.
  5. On the right, clear the Everyone check box.
  6. To allow members of a Target Group or Target Groups to see this Component Presentation, select the Target Group(s). If you select multiple Target Groups, a visitor will see the Component Presentation if they are a members of any of the selected Target Groups.
  7. To hide this Component Presentation from certain members of a Target Group or Target Groups, clear the Target Group(s).
  8. Click Save and Close to save your changes to the Page.

Results

When the Page is published, each Component Presentation with one or more associated Target Groups will check the visitor who is requesting the Page. If a visitor satisfies the conditions of at least one Target Group, that visitor gets to see the Component Presentation.
