Through targeting, you define the audience &amp; the place (specific URLs) where you would run the test. The audience could be defined around various visitor properties such as browser, geolocation, new\/returning visitors, landing page URL etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In cases involving sophisticated targeting, you might want to target the tests to audiences defined in 3rd party systems such as CRM, E-commerce stores. This targeting is achieved leveraging the attributes which are identifiers such as cookie value, JavaScript variable or others &amp; the same are uploaded to the testing platform while setting up the campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Introducing VWO Attributes List<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VWO Attributes List simplifies the process of attribute-based targeting such that you can setup the tests faster without needing Engineering help every time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-wistia-inc wp-block-embed-wistia-inc\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Attributes created R5 Video\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/yu8d9nyknp?dnt=1#?secret=cYX0p37H1o\" data-secret=\"cYX0p37H1o\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"690\" height=\"388\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the process of setting up one such test with and without the Attributes List feature. Let\u2019s say the test is targeted at an audience called <em>Premium Users<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, to set up a campaign like this, you\u2019d need to get in touch with your engineering team to create cookies or to place a new JavaScript variable for these users, which would then be used in VWO to target tests to specific users. These steps would need to be repeated every time you choose to target a new set of users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Attributes List feature, we\u2019ve simplified the process &#8211; Now, all you need to do is create a list (.csv or.txt) with the <em>user ids<\/em> &amp; upload it to VWO while setting up the campaign (assuming user ids or any similar unique identifier for all your users is already present on the page in the form of a JavaScript variable or a cookie). Even if you have a new list of users to target, all you would need to do is export their user ids and upload as a new list in VWO. All this, with no dependency on your ability to write code or getting engineering help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Without Attributes List<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>With Attributes List<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Campaign setup process<\/td><td>Create cookies\/place a new JavaScript variable for the users &amp; use the same in VWO campaign<\/td><td>Upload the user ids directly to VWO<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>External team\u2019s help<\/td><td>Engineering help required to create cookies\/place a JavaScript variable<\/td><td>Not required<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Setup Velocity<\/td><td>Takes time since cookies\/JavaScript variable needs to be setup by Engineering<\/td><td>Relatively faster since there is no dependency on Engineering<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about Attributes List in VWO, refer to this <a href=\"https:\/\/help.vwo.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/900003106343\">knowledge base article<\/a>. It also has details about Attributes List Format and would give you complete context about the feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note &#8211; Attributes List feature is available in early access for select Enterprise customers of VWO.
