Configure personalization

Goals

Before Uniform can personalize components, instructions that control personalization must be configured. This involves the following:

  • Add the personalization component to the slots where personalized components are needed.
  • Assign personalization instructions to components that are personalized.

Overview​

You want to configure personalization so that if the visitor has:

  • Viewed the architecture page, show personalized content.
  • Not viewed the architecture page, show default content.
info

In this example, you will use the same component to display content, but the content will change based on the visitor's classification. You can do more with personalization than just change the content that is available to the component. You can also change the type of component that is used, and hide components.

Add signal​

A signal is something that occurs that you would want to track and respond to. For this example, you want a signal that indicates a specific page was viewed. Later you will configure the response, which is to personalize the home page if this signal has been captured.
