Add and manage persona scoring rules

Overview

You can set the rules that define when a visitor starts or stops being associated with a persona.

NOTE: The procedure for adding new rule differs when you create a new persona and when you edit an existing Persona.

Add new rule

To add a new rule for a persona, perform the following:

1. Depending on whether you are creating a new or editing an existing persona, perform one of the following:
   • If you are creating a new persona, perform the following:
     1. Under Rules for entering persona click Add a rule.
        The Rule condition window appears.
     2. Create a condition and confirm your choice.
        For more information, see Create and manage personas.
   • If you are editing an existing persona, perform the following:
     1. In Sitefinity Insight, navigate to Analytics » Personas.
     2. Open the Persona whose rules you want to modify.
     3. Click the Manage rules button.
        The Rules for entering persona screen appears.
2. To add a new rule, click (Add).
   The Rule condition dialog appears.
3. Choose how the rules will apply:
   • Any rule
     The visitor is classified as belonging to the specified Persona when they hit at least one of the rules.
   • All rules
     The visitor is classified as belonging to the specified Persona only when they hit all the rules.
   • Points
     You use points-based rules to model complex and fine-grained rules for entering and exiting a persona. For more information, see Persona scoring rules.

NOTE: You need to have more than one rule to see and use All rules and Points modes.

4. Choose the condition for entering or leaving a persona.
   This can be a visitor behavior or a contact property.
   For more information, see Persona scoring rules format.

5. If you have selected Points, define how many points the visitor scores for this interaction. You can add, subtract, or reset the points to 0.

   NOTE: You can choose whether points are scored once or every time when the visitor completes the interaction. For more information, see Persona scoring rules.
