Personalization element examples

The layout and design of a personalization element is created in a similar way to a menu element, with a header design, footer design, and a design to be repeated for each result.


Create a Personalized menu

  1. Create a content spot or personalization rule in Portal Personalization based on some Web Content Manager content.

  2. Create a personalization element in Web Content Manager.

    • Click the Search button and select the content spot or personalization rule you created before. Click OK.

    • Create an element design to display the results of the content spot or personalization rule. This is similar to designing a Menu element or Navigator. For example, Enter the following in the "Design for each menu search result" section: 

         [placeholder tag="namelink" ] 
<br>

  3. Save the personalization element.

  4. Reference the personalization element in a presentation template.

To display a single piece of personalized Web Content Manager content for different users:

  1. Create an authoring template that includes an element. For example, a text element called "body".

  2. Create a set of content items based on this authoring template.

  3. Create a content spot or personalization rule in Portal Personalization based on the authoring template and content created above. The content spot or personalization rule should only return a single piece of Web Content Manager Content for each user.

  4. Create a personalization element in Web Content Manager.

    • Click the Search button and select the content spot or personalization rule you created before. Click OK.

    • Create an element design to display the results of the content spot or personalization rule. For example, Enter the following in the Design for each menu search result section: 

         [element type="Content" context="autofill" key="Body"]

    • This displays the content of the text element called "Body" from the content item returned by the content spot or personalization rule.

  5. Save the personalization element.

  6. Reference the personalization element in a presentation template.

        <div>

        Design for each menu search result:

        You must use a Component tag with a context of "autofill".
