Advanced Selection - Predefined expressions

In order to be able to use this feature, you should first activate it in Global Preferences:

To start using this mode of selection, you must add the Expressions that will later be available to be selected from inside the campaign.

To do it, access the following route: Inventory>Sites>Predefined expressions
 

Click on “Add” and complete the field taking the following indications into account:

Expression

In this field, you must specify the structure to be considered as an “expression”. You should know the name of the items that are part of the structure in advance: Sites/Zones/Spaces.
Please use the following:

/ --> Indicates the levels.

* --> Indicates or considers everything that is inside of those levels. In this case, those would be the Zones and Spaces.

The expression must contain the 3 levels: Site/Zone/Space (E.g.: NewsX/*/*).

There is also the possibility of indicating ALL the account’s data in one expression:  */*/*

The following examples will not be valid:

NewsX/*
NewsX/Home
(The 3rd level is missing in both examples.)

In the case of the Site “NewsX”, if you would like to create an expression considering all the spaces of every level of the site, you should do it in the following manner:

Complete the “Description” field, specifying what is included in the expression.

Then, click on OK. You will be able to see that the Expression has been added:

By contrast, if you need to create an expression that contemplates the spaces of a specific Zone only, you have to follow these steps:

If needed, the expressions can be edited or deleted:

Once the Expressions have been added, the Selection Mode option will change on the “Add campaign” page. It will be viewed as follows:

You can select the expression(s) to be considered in an inclusive/exclusive way from the list of available ones.

The Include/Exclude option is used to define whether you would like to include or exclude certain spaces in the selection. For instance, if there is a case where you would like to associate all the Spaces on a Home page except one called “Box300x250”, you could do so as follows:

With the Advanced Selection Mode on, the campaign will look as follows:
