Asset conditions screen

The conditions screen allows you to create and configure conditions that can be used to dynamically present content on your sites based on whether these conditions are met.

To add a new condition, select the type of condition you want to add from the condition type list in the create new condition section and select Save. Additional fields will then appear in the conditions section of the screen, allowing you to configure the newly added condition. You can add as many conditions as you like.

Conditions

This section allows you to configure the conditions created on your asset.

By default, this section will be empty.

As you add new conditions in the add new condition section, the fields available for these conditions will be displayed in this section.

An example of this is shown in the figure.

The fields available in this section will differ depending on the types of conditions that have been added on the asset. For more information on the condition types available, see the create new condition section in this documentation.

The Force no cache? field on each condition allows you to specify that any page using this condition will be served with a no-cache header, no matter what other cache rules have been configured. By default, this field in enabled. Setting this field to No will use the default cache rules that have been applied on the asset.

Once you have finished configuring the settings of the conditions listed in this section, select Save to save your changes.

You can remove a condition from the current asset by selecting Delete this condition and selecting Save.

Conditional keywords

In addition to using conditions on the components of an asset, conditional keywords are also available to conditionally show or hide sections of content within a container.

Once conditions have been created and configured on the conditions screen, an automated list of the conditional keywords available will be displayed on the components of the asset.

These conditional keywords allow you to dynamically configure content that is presented in accordance with the conditions set.

The format of conditional keywords are as follows, where condition is the name of the condition configured on the conditions screen:

Condition: Displays whether the condition has been met, either true (1) or false (0).
Begin condition: Identifies the beginning of the conditional content to display if the condition is met. If the condition is true, the content specified between the begin and either the else or end keywords will be displayed.
Else condition: Identifies any alternative content to display if the condition is not met. If the condition is false, the content specified between the else and end keywords will be displayed. This keyword is optional.
End condition: Identifies the end of the conditional content to display.
Full structure of condition: Provides the full keyword structure of conditional content (begin, else and end condition) to allow you to easily enter the content to conditionally display.

An example of the conditional keyword structure is shown in the figure.
