Good afternoon @karime57141140, My name is Tim Bogatz and I am from Omaha, NE. My employer is Farm Credit Services of America and my role is Marketing Personalization Specialist which translates into the Target SME at FCSA. I will also play a large role in building segments in AEP. I don't have Target experience (and very little technical experience overall) beyond what I have learned during my role which I have been in since early January 2024. Looking forward to asking a lot of (dumb) questions and growing my technical aptitude of Adobe Target!

Hello! I am trying to wrap my head around Mbox and wondered if you have any resources to help me learn?

Hi Tim,

Yes sure - Are you looking to work with the Form-Based composer and have regional mboxes? 

You would be looking at using the getOffer function adobe.target.getOffer(options)

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/target-dev/developer/client-side/at-js-implementation/fun...

 

Essentially, a regional mbox is a way for you to manipulate content in a specific part of the page, or to be able to call Target Server Side. I'll be happy to set up time to chat about it next week if you prefer

Hey Aspirants, 

 

Quick quiz to help you prepare for the exam

 

A Target Business Practitioner need to make sure an activity is free of any collisions with any previously made activities.
How should the Target Business Practitioner confirm that this is true?

A) Launch the activity and rely on Target to block any colliding activities.
B) Review the Status, Priority, and Audience of every activity on the same URL to make sure there is no undesired overlap.
C) Confirm that the activity has a unique name that is NOT duplicated or closely resembled elsewhere
D) Set the the priority level to 'high' on the new activity
