Hi, I am fixing my marketing channel processing rules. Can I use multiple values like below screen shot or do I have to add separate rules for each of the strings to match?
Thanks
@jennifer_dungan Makes sense to me. But If I try to put different values in a list format in a rule then its by default is "ALL" operator instead "Any" and for one rule it doesn't allow you to choose "Any"...
In my previous response where I shared a screenshot for paid social, you saw a list of values with "Any" operator. It came for me when I clicked ADD New rule and removed it. That way I selected "Any"
So I want to confirm from this ASK is if I put values as list in rule and keep "ALL" then my condition will work or not?
The "All" and "Any" in that initial drop down reflects the rules/boxes/blocks in the rule set (the ones that you can remove with the x, or add with "Add rule"):
In this case, in order to be identified as "Paid Search" the channel must BOTH match the "paid search detection rules" AND the "cid" must start with "pad" or "med".
If you change it to "ANY" at this point, then it need to match either (or both, its not an exclusive or) "Paid Search Detection" OR "cid starts with one of the listed items"
This list block is always going to be an "OR" list, no matter what is selected in the All/Any dropdown:
I don't know why you are saying this can only be an "ALL" rules... you should see "ANY" in the dropdown, if you have more than 1 rule in your rule set.....
Unless you removed the "matches paid search detection rules" like so:
But still, the ANY/ALL refers to the blocks, not to the list items... the list would be useless in 99% of cases if it was processed as an "AND"... IF you need something to "contain X and Y" then you would make sure you have "ALL" selected, and create 2 rules:
cid contains "X"
cid contains "Y"
cause you need BOTH to be true... and they are not mutually exclusive.
Hey @jennifer_dungan its all new cid codes for social paid that we are going to opt so looking to add it in marketing channels processing rules so that they can be bucketed in correct dimension item of Marketing channels ie. social paid. From that perspective does it looks correct? I am just confused between "All" or "Any" in rule
Because for social organic we use "All" for a list and this is advised
Right, but since your "Other Campaigns" rule only looks at "cid" exists... I feel that this would take precedence over your Organic Social Networks, which look for specific cid values.... if ANY cid is processed first, all that traffic will go there.....
And yes, that looks like a complete list (until something new comes along).... it would be really nice if we could create rules based on our "Referrer Type" buckets...
But as this is the option available to us.. that is the way to go... likely you will only have traffic from a fraction of those 😛
@jennifer_dungan As I mentioned in my last response that I have shifted the order of "Other Campaigns" bucket below "Social Organic" and "Social paid" buckets as shown in the below screenshot. I don't think "Other Campaigns" bucket rule that says "cid" exists will take precedence in this case. What are your thoughts?
Because Now to capture this CID specific data via Paid, Social Paid, Social organic, and Other Campaign Rules I have set up my final configurations like this:
For paid search rule:
For social paid rule:
For Social Organic rule:
For "Other campaigns", The idea behind this rule is it will capture what is not captured above or any human eroor or broken cids if anyone configure or set can be captured here.
For Channel Details I am using "Query String parameter" as value of CID because this further can be broken down more briefly by referring domain and more for better analysis.
What are you final thoughts on this sequence and order of processing rules now with the shown rule set up?
