      Article summary

      The ​Personalization Builder​ is a graphical interface where you can define and create personalization rules.

      Personalizations that contain special attributes and functions can only be entered manually in text mode. However, most possible complex personalizations can be created with the ​personalization builder​.

      Personalization rules can consist of only one InsertIf statement and its conditions or can be a combination of several statements (InsertIf/InsertElse rules).

      In the ​Structure​ view, it is possible to create personalization rules consisting of several statements. The individual conditions that define each individual statement are created and edited in the context menu ​Edit​.

      Structuring personalization Rules​

      Complex personalization rules can be structured in different ways:

      1. They can consist of only one InsertIf statement.

      2. They can contain content (or not).

      3. They can consist of several statements (InsertIf and InsertElse statements).

      To create personalizations consisting of only one InsertIf statement (No. 1), it is not necessary to switch to the ​Structure​ view.

      To add content or to create a personalization that uses multiple statements, switch to the ​Structure​ view.

      For personalization examples, see the Basics page.
