    Hi All,

    I have a pre-hiding snippet embedded on the web pages. Also, there is a cookie consent feature implemented.
    https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target-dev/developer/client-side/at-js-implementation/at-js/manage-flicker-with-atjs.html

     

    On every page load, the pre-hiding snippet code will add a permanent 3-second delay to page rendering even if the target cookies are not accepted by the users.

     

    We know this snippet helps when the target call is fired to avoid flickers. But how do we skip this delay when the target call is not fired?

      Hi @mohd-net ! The pre-hiding script provided in the documentation has a default timeout of 3000ms (3s). This is configurable, so you can change this to your desired value. Hope this helps!

        Hi, we want to get started with Recommendations. We have product classifications set up in Analytics, looks like we can import these and map to various fields. Wondering if the Category here should be (is) the same as we use for the Category Affinity? (that's based on page metadata, not product classifications).

          @davidlu17, 

          In Recommendations, the entity.categoryId is used to pass in all the categories a product can belong to. For example, if you have a product that is a women's jacket, it can belong to multiple categories such as: Womens, Womens:Outerwear, Womens:Outerwear:Jackets. It is very important to keep in mind that all other variables are single value however entity.categoryId is different and accepts multiple values. New values do not overwrite existing values but are appended to the list. This is documented here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/recommendations/entities/entity-attributes.html?lang=en

            Hi All,

             

            I have implemented Adobe Target on Web SDK. In we are firing Adobe Target at the library top with the event type "web.webinteractions.linkClicks" and Analytics with the event type as "web.webpagedetails.pageViews". Is this the ideal way? If yes then we are seeing unspecified value for eVars as linkClick call fires before the pageView call.

             

            Why can we combine the target call with the analytics page view call? What are the Pros and Cons for both cases?

              Hi again! Thanks for providing the screenshot. You certainly can combine the rules, and in general that's how you could approach rules that don't have special considerations. I have a few questions:

              1. To confirm, are you using the "library load (page top)" as the event for both sendEvent rules?
              2. In what way is the XDM object data element in the Target rule different from the XDM object data element in the Analytics rule?
              3. Can you give me an example of what you're trying to pass in with the data property (where you have "Target global parameters (Web SDK)" in the Target rule? Based on the name, I'm assuming page parameters, but you should be able to capture those with an XDM object data element using the "web.webPageDetails" field.

              More info on Target XDM field mappings here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/sources/connectors/adobe-applications/mapping/target.html?lang=en

                Following are the comments to your questions.

                 

                1. For Target it's "Library Load" and for Analytics it's "Window Loaded".
                2. Target XDM has WebInteractions configured and where as Analytics XDM webPageDetails and custom eVars and Props.
                3. I'm passing entity parameters in data property via custom code.

                  Is Adobe working on a solution to enable Adobe Target activities to be pushed to Iphone and Ipad products?

                    Hi @alisaberindea, 

                    Are you talking about having Target activities run in mobile apps for iPhones and iPads? Or are you talking about something else?

                      No, Target Experiences are not showing in iPhone and IPad devices for website experiences. 

                       

                      The following is a blurb from: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/audiences/create-audiences/categories-audiences/mobile.html?lang=en 

                       

                      Due to the new changes introduced in iOS 12.2, creating an audience with rules defined by Device Marketing Name and Device Model that specify iPhone Models is impacted. Target can no longer target users who have iPhones with iOS 12.2 (or later) installed on them. However, if those users do not have iOS 12.2 (or later), then the iPhone Model targeting continues to work correctly.

                      The iOS 12.2 (or later) update does not affect the identification of the following models because these models do not support upgrading to iOS 12.2: iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPad, iPad 2, iPad / Retina display, iPad Retina (4th Generation), iPod Touch 4, and iPod Touch 5.

                       

                      I was wondering if there are any plans to work on fixing this in the future? and if so what the timeline for this might be?

                        How can I create Adobe Target variable so that I can map it to 3rd party extension tool variable via Launch?

                         

                        For example, in the below screenshot, I have my integration with 3rd part tool that is allowing me to pull 3rd party tool default variable directly from drop-down (Segment Field on the left-hand side) and I have to map it to Adobe Target Field/Variable(on right side).

                         

                        This I have to do in order to sync the demographic info that 3rd party tool is capturing for me to flow into the Target Variable so that I can use that target variable to build audiences for personalization. But I am unsure how I can create this empty variable before mapping it to my 3rd party tool variable (Segment Filed in above screenshot)

                          @Ryan_Roberts_, @GentryLin, @ryan_pizzuto, and@MihneaD What would be you recommendation for transferring design files from Figma or similar platform to Target to test proof of concept before moving forward with development?
