Audiences

📘

Optional feature

To benefit from support in setting up this feature, please reach out to your integration partner.

Audiences allow you to manage specific portal content (products, assets, and variants) and make it accessible only to designated portal users.

Thus, you can assign documents, media, and variants to specific audiences in order to limit the content available to designated users of your Quable Portal.

Audience management is handled in two locations:

  • Quable Portal - The assignment of audiences to users.
  • Quable PIM - The assignment of documents, assets and variants to audiences.

The following sections describe how to manage the process in both locations.

Quable Portal Settings

Manage audiences in your Quable Portal on the Audience page in the Admin Settings menu.

Create Audience

To create an audience, click the Create button.

Below is an example of code filtering on the audience attribute associated with assets, on the audience attribute associated with variants, and on the audience attribute associated with a doctype "product_name". In a real case, adapt the audience attribute codes according to the DataModel and the attribute values according to the enriched data.

{
  "asset": {
      "attributes.AS_attr_audienceA": "1"
  },
  "variant": {
    "attributes.VA_attr_audienceA": "1"
  },
  "document": {
    "product_name": {
        "attributes.PR_attr_audienceA": "1"
    }
  }
}

Create an attribute "Audience"

  • Create a new tab, section, and category for Audiences or Portal in the Datamodel of documents to be published on the portal.
  • Create Checkbox type attributes with the same code and name as the audiences on the Portal side.
  • For media and variants, add a Checkbox type attribute directly in a pre-existing section.

Once created, the new tab is available in your documents, along with the checkbox attributes for each of the audiences in your documents, media, and variants.
