Adobe Target

Hi Folks,We are running AB test with manual 50/50 traffic split between control and challenger, When we looked at the report for 5 days of data, reports shows that in challenger visitor numbers are 15% higher than control. We are doing manual traffic split to both the experience and % is equally divided 50%.So I would like to understand technically how manual traffic allocation works in Adobe target. 15% difference in traffic allocation in manual AB test is huge for US to decide winning experience.Regards,Manish Agravat

Hi,We have configured our search using S&P. However, when we search a page which also has a vanity URL added to it, both the main URL and the vanity path is coming in the search results. Ideally this should not be the case. Like i Google search we hide the vanity URL from it. We want something similar for S&P too. Can someone please help with how we should configure it?

Hi all, can someone please tell what is the maximum possible length of a profile script attribute?Adobe documentation states "Do not exceed 1,300 characters or 50 loop iterations" but thats for the script-code itself. Thanks in advance,Rajneesh

We are trying to understand if Target has the ability to run a/b tests behind authentification. We use at.js and AEM. I tried setting up a test using Visual Experience Manager with a URL behind login, and it wouldn't let me set up the test. Wanted me to log in. Is this something we can do with a regular mbox? There are common page elements after users login that we'd like to test. Thanks for any help!

Is there a way to push profile.geolocation.country in my mbox response? I was looking at profile scripts but I can't seem to access the DOM through it.  I know I can create experienced based on country, but I would like to leverage that information for other purposes. Thanks,

Is there a way to export all of my live activities (campaigns) into an Excel spreadsheet?

I remember Target classic had an option to remove "extreme" orders from test data. Any way to do that with the A4T integration?

Hello all,The Problem Currently I'm working at an organisation that has an over reliance on re-direct tests, I understand that in certain circumstances this method is effective but currently around 80% of our tests are set up in this way. Obviously running a re-direct test involves building a new page and really slows down the entire testing process.In my mind I see three tiers of testsTier 1Basic VEC tests that can be done by a non-dev, this would include text, Imagery and minor layout changesTier 2These tests include the above and introducing new sections into the page and more major layout changesTier 3This would be major changes to the page or even a full page re-designCurrently we would default to a re-direct test for anything that fell into tier 2 or tier 3 (above), what I would like to understand is for a tier 2 (partial re-design) and a tier three test (full page re-design) what would be the most efficient way of running this test without a re-direct test?I want to avoid runnin

I am having trouble setting up the "goals and settings" tab in Adobe Target. I attempting an MVT test, however I am unable to get the "goal metric" portion set up correctly. On a typical A/B test, I am able to select two options under "what do you want to measure with this activity"; "Conversion" and "Use an Analytics metric".On the MVT test I am trying to set up, I only am able to choose "conversion" as an option. For some reason the option for "Use an Analytics metric" does not show up in the dropdown. I would like to know if it's possible to set that up? If so, how can I enable the option?I am using Adobe Analytics as a "Reporting Source" on both the A/B and Multivariate tests.

Hi Guys,I have been asked to setup a test to remove a module from the product page of our website. This module is only present on for certain product pages meaning it does not show up for all the product pages.I was wondering if I use the VEC - remove element feature, what will happen when the module or the element is not present on the page. Will this break the page or will Target ignore it and load the page as usual?Regards,Suchindra Kala

Hi All,We have a scenario, where we want to show experience only once to user, until and unless user cleared all cookies etc. One way to handle this is manually through code, by storing a flag in localStorage or something like that and then suppressing experience (By writing custom code). Is there a way to configure this using OOTB configurations?Regards,Sandeep

Hello,I'm noticing various stakeholders are unable to load the reporting interface within Target. When selecting "reporting", the table and graphs never appear on an active test. However the UI, tables and graphs load just fine from my end. Any suggestions how to troubleshoot? It appears intermittent between users. Most everyone is using the newest version of Chrome.

Hi,Can anyone please help me with documentation for feeding products to Recommendations Engine (Recommendations Activity) via API?Thanks,Muralidharan

Scenario:Let's say 50% of All visitors are landing in an A/B Activity_1, which is live. Now, I want to utilize the 50% of All visitors who have not landed in first activity, for second A/B activity. Is there a way to configure audience in such scenario?Note:1. Both A/B test have same placements2. I am not using Profile Attributes

Hi all,As I'm quite new to Target Premium, I would like to ask you about Auto-Target and Automated Personalization as the following:1. Referred to this paragraph “The length of time it takes for models to build in your Auto-Target activity typically depends on the traffic to                       your selected activity location(s) and your activity success metric. For Auto-Target, simple rules of thumb can be used to understand traffic requirements:When Conversion is your success metric: 1,000 visits and at least 50 conversions per day per experience, and in addition the activity must have at least 7,000 visits and 350 conversions.”If the activity has run for a while, but the traffic is inconsistency. For example, there is more than 1000 visits and at least 50 conversions per day per experience for first 3 days, but for the 4th day the conversion and traffic dramatically dropped which less than the minimum requirement and also happen for another next day. Does the personalize model wor

I am looking for a way to export activity's metric data with daily granularity. I have gone through the target API documentation and it does not mention anything about granularity or date range. It only has the performance report section which does not give the option to set granularity or select a date range.Please suggest, how can I use the API to get the granular data or suggest an alternate way to get the granular data. Thanks.

Hi All,We are using Adobe Target Standard in our implementation. We have only one mbox defined (Global mBox). I am trying to pass the product category information to Target using data elements in DTM. However, category information is not getting passed from DTM to Target. Also, I am defining user.categoryId parameter in DTM to pass the category to Target & hoping to get "frequently visited categories" in category affinity array. Should I use user.categoryId or just categoryId? I am totally confused on how to pass the category information from DTM to Target & populate the same in the array which can be used in Target?I would like to verify whether my approach is correct here? If not then what is the correct approach to populate favorite categories in category affinities array?Appreciate your responsesThank YouKamesh

Hi Guys,I am trying to A/B test few links in the header section of my website, meaning that the links are present on all the pages of the website. But, I see the click tracking call failing in the network tab & do not see the click tracked in the reports. Below is the screenshot of the network tab.Can anyone help me understand why the click tracking call is failing? 

Hi there!I now have my A/B test with URL redirect set up! 50% of users that land on site.com/a are successfully getting redirected to site.com/bThe issue I'm experiencing is that the intital page (site.com/a) loads fully before the redirect (to site.com/b) happens ... this means the user sees the two pages and also the page loading time is slowed down considerably.Does anyone have any experience with this or advice on how I might correct? Ideally the user wouldn't see site.com/a at all when the redirect condition is met....GIF attached showing redirect behaviour

Hello,As part of a series of tests on the website navigation, I plan to add an entirely new drop-down menu with the goal of better surfacing some useful, but relatively hidden content. I would like to add click-tracking to each of the new links in the navigation to determine which one is used most frequently.When using A4T, it only appears possible to add one click-track event as a goal metric. I want to be able to capture clicks for each of the different navigation links, and ideally be able to determine whether they were visiting from a mobile/tablet/desktop.I assume I need to leverage the mbox on the page in some way, does anybody know a way of achieving this?The test has been built using the VEC and using the older mbox.js implementation.Thanks,Chris

Hi there,I am attempting to build an XT activity to hold multiple personalization campaigns on the same page, however I also want to run them as A/B test at the same time.I have previously tried to set them up as individual A/B test activities, however that approach was not prioritizing segment types correctly as some customers could belong to more than one segment. Where the prioritization was failing was that it was sending customers who belonged to more than one group to the segment with the bigger population, thus preventing smaller more complex segments reaching their full audience.To get around this issue I have set up an XT activity with a profile script for control experiences to belong to group A and challenger experiences to belong to group B. I have then prioritized (example below) the segments from smallest segment population to largest segment population in the assumption that it will waterfall down.Small segment group A controlSmall segment group B challengerMedium segmen
