To start creating an asset group you'll need to name it:
This name will also be the identifier which your app should use to fetch this group so choose it accordingly.
If you would like that a certain group to have priority over another group with exactly the same criteria, you should provide a priority value:
Higher numbers have priority over lower numbers.
Optionally you can provide a start and end date for an asset group during which the group should be active:
To make these groups even more powerful you can provide an advanced criteria to target certain segments, tags, users in a certain location or using certain devices. This will allow you to create content that is highly relevant and contextual. To add a criteria use the area below:
