Exclusion activity

[Kumar_27]

Dear team,

Under targeting activities and exclusions, does anyone know the differences between the three types of Exclusion Types > Change dimensions:

1.) Change axis

2.) Identifier

3.) Joins

In what situation would change axis, identifier or joins can be used? Provided any use case of easy understanding.

Hi Kumar,

Please check out the documentation below, which explains the reason for these dimensions and includes a use case.

The reason for these functions is to allow for the excluded target schema to match up with the destination. This could mean that you want the data to be reconciled based on an identifier (say primary key), or a specified join, or by changing the dimension entirely (see doc here for an explanation of the change dimension logic)
