Recommendations Activity settings
Information about the settings you can use to describe and control a Recommendations activity in Adobe Target.
The following sections describe the available settings for a Recommendations activity.
Name
Provide a descriptive name that will help you and your team identify the activity.
The following characters are not allowed in an activity name:
/
?
#
:
=
+
-
@
If you specify a Recommendations activity name that already exists for another activity in Recommendations Classic, the new activity is resynced with a new name. The new name is the original name appended with a timestamp to make it unique. This new name is displayed in both Target Standard/Premium and Recommendations Classic.
Objective
(Optional) Describe the goal of the activity.
Priority
Adjust the slider to determine the priority level.
The priority is used if multiple activities are assigned to the same location with the same audience. If two or more activities are assigned to the location, the activity with the highest priority displays.
Duration
Set the duration of the activity.
The activity can start when activated, or you can set a specific date and time. Likewise, the activity can either end when it is deactivated or you can set a date and time. The time picker uses a 24-hour clock, with 00:00 being midnight. The time zone is set to the time zone configured in your browser. To use a different time zone, set your browser to another time zone and restart the browser.
Reporting Settings
- Reporting Source: Select the reporting source: Adobe Target or Analytics. Do not change the reporting source after the activity goes live. Changing the reporting source after an activity goes live causes inconsistent reporting.
- Goal Metric: Select the success metric that determines whether the activity is successful.
- Additional Metrics: Configure additional success metrics to be used in your reports.
- Audiences for Reporting: Define audiences that can be used when filtering your reports.
Other Metadata
