Using Targeted Content Configurations

A Targeted Content Configuration is a Targeted Content widget that you create and store in the Ektron CMS400.NET Workarea. When users drop a Targeted Content widget onto a PageBuilder page, they can select from any of the configurations defined in the Workarea. (See the following example.) A configuration lets you reuse the same Targeted Content widget on any number of pages.

If you later change a configuration setting, all widgets using that configuration are automatically changed.

Use the Targeted Content Configuration screen to create, store, edit and delete configurations.

Important: If you apply no conditions to a configuration and reference it in a Targeted Content widget on a PageBuilder page, nothing appears on the page.

This screen lets you create a new Targeted Content Configuration or edit an existing one.
