Link the rule to a content spot on the site

A content spot is a placeholder for a personalization rule on a web page. When creating a content spot, you associate a business rule with it. This association is referred to as mapping or linking the personalization rule to a content spot. When the page is viewed, the content spot uses its rule mapping to determine which rule to execute. When the rule is activated, any actions defined within the rule take place. Each content spot has a unique name. A content type of the content spot must be defined when it is created and cannot not be changed.

1. On the Business Rules page, click New > Content Spot.

2. For Default Mapping, click the search icon and select a rule. For this example, we can select Visibility Rule 1.

3. Save the content spot.

What to do next

A web developer must add the content spot information to the appropriate JSP.
