Filters
A filter defines an attribute you want to filter content on. You can specify static or dynamic filters.
- Static Filters
- A static filter defines a fixed value, or values, to filter content on. You select the values from a list, such as a list of Keywords.
- Dynamic filters
- A dynamic filter is an abstract filter whose value is filled at runtime taken from the visitor's current context. A dynamic filter allows you to create a single Promotion used on several webpages, covering several scenarios instead of having to create a Promotion for each.
- Filter syntax
-
There are three parts to a filter:
- the attribute or field you want to filter on
- the operator
- the value
- custom value—a user-entered value
- static value—a value selected from a list
- dynamic value—a trigger whose value will be used at runtime based on the visitor's current context
- Filter handling
-
Filters are handled as follows:
- Multiple values for the same filter are
ORstatements (displays content if either the first condition OR the second condition is true). - Multiple filters are handled as
ANDstatements (displays content if both the first condition AND the second condition are true)
- Multiple values for the same filter are
- Localized filters
- Filtering of content (Components) occurs on the selected Publication level, and not at Child Publication level. Consequently, content is always filtered on the same value regardless of whether the filter value has been changed in Child Publications (localized Components).
