  2. Navigate to the properties screen of a SmartTarget region, either from the properties of the Web page or from the Region properties of a Component.

    You see:

    • The title of the current page
    • The name of the region
    • The maximum number of items allowed in this region
    • Buttons to edit a selected Promotion or to add a new one
    • A list of the Promotions applied to this region
    • A button to open the SmartTarget Manager application (refer to the SmartTarget documentation for more information about this application).
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Edit an existing Promotion in this region by selecting it and clicking the Edit control.
    • Add a new Promotion to this region by clicking the Add control.
    A SmartTarget Manager dialog opens, showing a form for the new or existing Promotion.
  4. In the Triggers area, change the list of triggers for this Promotion by adding triggers, removing triggers, and setting the properties of a trigger. Refer to the SmartTarget documentation for more information about triggers.
  5. In the Actions area, specify which content to display if this Promotion is triggered. Refer to the SmartTarget documentation for more information about actions.
    • If you are editing an existing Promotion, do not select a different value for Region.

  6. Click Save to commit your changes, and close the dialog to return to the Web page.
