Manage Location Groups

Location Groups are customized lists that can be made up of a variety of location types and used as the From and/or To Geography of one or more Content Optimizer rules. A Location Group can be made up of airports, cities, nations, zones, and/or areas.

Location Group Usage

• A Location Group can be used as a From or a To (or both) location in a Content Optimizer rule’s Geography.

• When one or two Location Groups are used as From and/or To Geographies in a Content Optimizer rule, the rule is applied to all combinations of the locations comprising the Location Group(s).

• A Location Group cannot be a member of another Location Group.

• You can set a worldwide geography by adding a Location Group made up of the three Areas: TC1, TC2, and TC3.

This page contains information for adding, editing, deleting, sorting, viewing, and filtering Location Groups.
