The ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Target Form-Based Experience Composer is a non-visual experience and offer creation interface that’s useful in creating experiences for use in A/B Test, Experience Targeting, Automated Personalization, and Recommendations activities when the Visual Experience Composer (VEC) is not available or practical for use. For example, you might use the Form-Based Experience Composer to create experiences and offers for delivery in emails, kiosks, and voice assistants.
If you are creating a Recommendations activity, there are no experiences. Choose your criteria and design. If you choose multiple criteria or designs, Target automatically generates the experiences.
Click Create Activity, then select the type of activity you want to create.
The Form-Based Experience Composer is available for A/B Test, Experience Targeting, Automated Personalization, and Recommendations activities.
Select Form from the Create Activity dialog box.
(Conditional) Choose a workspace and property.
Click Next.
The Form-Based Experience Composer opens.
This screen is different if you are creating a Recommendations activity. Recommendations activities do not include experiences.
Name the activity by clicking “Untitled Activity.â€
Select a location.
When you click in the Select Location box, a list of available locations appears. Select one of those locations.
You can also enter a location that is not listed here. This can be useful if the mbox has not yet been created or viewed on a page. Type the name of the location. Be careful when entering a location that does not yet exist. If the spelling or capitalization does not match the spelling and capitalization when the mbox call is made, the activity will not deliver. Manually entered locations are saved to the list of available locations. The next time you try to select a manually entered location, it will be available from the Select Location drop-down list for that activity.
note note
NOTE
Creating a manually entered location during activity creation does not automatically create a new location. The location name is saved only in the context of the activity. The location is created when there is a content delivery call. Subsequent to the location being created, it will be available for use in other activities, for creating audiences, etc. from the drop-down list of available locations.
Click Add Audience Refinements, choose one or more audience for this activity, then click Done.
In the Form-based Experience Composer, refinements have been replaced with full audience functionality. Refinements for existing activities have been migrated to activity-only audiences.
Select the type of content you want to appear in that location.
For the content type you selected, specify the content.

While selecting Recommendations criteria in the Form-Based Experience Composer, there is now a direct link to the selected Criteria card so you can quickly and easily edit the criteria.
From the Targeting page of the Target three-step guided workflow:
Add Offer Decision:
Add an offer created in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Journey Optimizer (AJO) to an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Target activity to present the best dynamic offer and experience to your visitors on your website or mobile site using offer decisioning. This option is available for manual A/B Test and Experience Targeting (XT) activities only.
(Optional, for A/B Test, Automated Personalization, and Experience Targeting activiites) To repeat this process for additional locations, click Add Location and configure the location and content.
Click Next, then complete the activity creation steps as usual for your activity type.
