Outside of these dates, the offer won鈥檛 be selected by the Interaction engine. If you have also configured eligibility dates for the offer category, the most restrictive period will apply.

If predefined filters have been created already, you can select them from the list of user filters. For more on this, refer to Creating predefined filters.
Offer weight offer-weight
To enable the engine to decide between several offers that the target is eligible for, you need to assign one or more weights to the offer. You can also apply filters to the target if necessary or restrict the offer space which the weight will apply to. An offer with a more significant weight will be preferred over an offer with less weight.
You can configure multiple weights for the same offer, for example to distinguish sup-periods, specific targets or even an offer space.
For example, an offer can have a weight of A for contacts aged 18 to 25 and a weight of B for contacts above that range. If an offer is eligible all summer, it can also have a weight of A in July and a weight of B in August.
To create a weight in an offer, apply the following steps:
-
Click Add.
-
Change the label and assign a weight. By default, it is 1.
note important IMPORTANT If no weight is entered (0), the target will not be considered eligible for the offer. -
If you want the weight to apply for a given period, define eligibility dates.
-
If necessary, restrict the weight to a specific offer space.
-
Apply a filter to a target.
-
Click OK to save the weight.
note note NOTE If a target is eligible for multiple weights for a selected offer, the engine keeps the best (highest) weight. When calling up the offer engine, an offer is selected a maximum of once per contact.
