Personalization

Personalization allows a portal or website to choose which content appears for particular site visitors. For example, a site that uses Personalization can show different news articles to managers than to regular employees, or different information to valued customers.

Define content through a number of applications, including WCM. Personalization automatically detects the content definition from these applications.

After defining the content type, attributes of the content are shown to the rule author. The rule author can use these attributes to make conditions. These conditions can define if and when certain content is displayed or even if certain actions like database updates and triggered emails might occur.

Tools...

Personalization editor

Edit object content or information. To get to the Personalization Editor, select a new element from the Personalization Navigator.

Personalization picker

Select a Personalization rule, content spot, resource collection or folder. The list of items displayed is filtered based on the context. For instance, from the Edit Layout and Edit Page Properties pages, we can select a rule to assign to a page or portlet. In these contexts, the picker shows items from the Navigational Rules folder and shows visibility rules. We can choose to view the items in either a list view or a tree view.
