Set categories and locations

Prev Next

In IXM One, you can use category and location attributes to create targeted content for specific target groups.

  • Assign content to specific categories and locations to determine which content is played on which screens.

  • Use the display settings to assign categories or locations to every spot.

Prerequisites

Note the following prerequisites:

  • You can assign locations or categories of any level to the list view.

  • If your location structure is organized by regions and cities, assigning a location to a specific region means that the content will be displayed in all cities within that region.

  • A category block can contain any number of categories, but only one location.
