Create a segment using State attribute

Learn more about the Device application object through an example that uses a location attribute (state).

In this example, we are creating two segments using a profiler rule: North Carolina and California. Each segment views content that is based on the location of the device.

1. Click Applications > Personalization > Business Rules.

2. From the Personalization Navigator, click New > Rule.

3. For Rule Type, select Profiler. The profiler rule groups a user into one or more segments. Segments are profiles.

4. The numbered screen capture, along with the corresponding table, provides the values and selections that are used in this example. Use these example values and selections to guide you in creating a profiler rule that uses the device class attribute.
