Creating a DTO #

Once a new content group has been created containing rules (personalization details) to render specific sub-templates, a DTO (Data Transfer Objects) must be created in order to validate the rules.

  1. Set the content of the DTO (Refer table 7).
  2. Once the DTO has been created, it has to be attached and parsed into the template that will render the content.
FieldDescription
NameName the DTO after the content group to be rendered. For example: a content group named group_a_info should have the DTO named group_a_infoDTO. This is not mandatory but makes it easier to relate to which template the DTO refers to.
QueryThis document will not get into technical details as how DTOs work. To use this functionality, use the following query:”%%DTOnameDTO%%:template_name”. For example, if you have a personalization content group named “test1″, the content of DTO should be”%%test1DTO%%:test1”. and if you have another personalization group named “promotion”, which you want to add to the same dto, the content of DTO should be”%%test1DTO%%:test1, promotion”.
