Viewing the SmartTarget region to which a Component belongs

If you select a Component border and you see a SmartTarget region border button, you can view the SmartTarget region to which the Component belongs, and view or change what kind of content appears in that region.

Procedure

  1. Open a browser, access a Web page that is editable and start editing by clicking the SDL Tridion button at the top left corner of the page.
  2. Find a Component on the Web page that displays a SmartTarget region border button, that is, one of the following:
    Indicates that the region is showing promotional content. A promotion defines when -under what conditions-a promotion is displayed and what content is displayed when the promotion is triggered.
    Indicates that the region is showing fallback content. Fallback content defines the content that is displayed when no promotion items are returned, or if SmartTarget times out.
  3. Select the Component border and click the border button to do one of the following:
    • Select Open the Region properties to edit the existing Promotions in this region, or add a new Promotion to this region.
    • Select Manage Promotions in SmartTarget to open the SmartTarget Manager application. For more information about SmartTarget Manager, refer to the SmartTarget documentation.

    If you select Open the Region properties, a popup opens that shows:

    • 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).

    You can now select a Promotion in the list to edit it or find out more about it, or you can add a new Promotion to the region.
