Overview

Three distinct verbs exist in the In the Beeswax Buzz UI and API for handling segments - , three distinct verbs are used to handle segments: Include, Exclude, and Require.

...

. Each verb applies different logic to segment targeting for line items.

Include Verb

When a segment is "included" in the targeting of a line item, any user that is part of who belongs to that segment will be targeted by the line item. When

  • If multiple segments are

...

  • included

...

  • , a user will be targeted if they are part of any one

...

  • of

...

  • the included segments.
  • The logical operator

...

  • for combining multiple

...

  • included

...

  • segments is OR.The

Example:
If a line item is targeting "include segment-1" and "include segment-2,"

...

the user

...

will be targeted if they are in segment-1

...

, segment-2

...

, or

...

both

...

.

...

Exclude Verb

When a segment is "excluded" in the targeting of a line item, a user must not be part of that segment in order to any user who belongs to that segment will not be targeted. When

  • If multiple segments are

...

  • excluded

...

  • , a user must not

...

  • belong to any of the excluded segments in order to be targeted.
  • The logical operator for combining multiple excluded segments is AND (i.e., the user must not be in any of the excluded segments).

Example:
If a line item is targeting "exclude segment-3" and "exclude segment-4

...

," a user will not be targeted

...

if they are in either segment-3 or segment-4.

...

Require Verb

When a segment is "required" in the for targeting of a line item, a the user must be a part of this belong to that segment in order to be targeted.

  • The logical operator for combining multiple required segments is AND.
  • This is similar to

...

  • the "

...

  • Include"

...

  • verb, but with

...

  • stricter logic: the user must meet all the requirements.

Example:
If a

The logical operator is AND when combining multiple "required" segments.

...

line item is targeting "require segment-5" and "require segment-6,"

...

the user must

...

belong to both segment-5

...

and segment-6

...

to be targeted.

...

Mixing Include, Exclude, and Require

When a segment mixes verbs, a user must satisfy all verb categories in order to serve.

...

multiple verbs are used together in a single targeting setup, the user must meet the criteria of all the verbs in order to be targeted.

  • Include segments use an OR operator, meaning the user only needs to belong to one of the included segments.
  • Exclude segments use an AND operator, meaning the user must not belong to any of the excluded segments.
  • Require segments use an AND operator, meaning the user must belong to all required segments.

Examples:

  1. Include + Require:
    If a line item targets "include segment-1", "include segment-2", and "require segment-5,"

...

  1. the user must

...

  1. :

    • Belong to segment-1 or

...

    • segment-2, and

...

    • Belong to segment-5 in order to be targeted.

...


  1. Include + Exclude:
    If a line item

...

  1. targets "include segment-1", "include segment-2", "exclude segment-3", and "exclude segment-4,"

...

  1. the user must

...

  1. :

    • Belong to segment-1 or

...

    • segment-2, and

...

    • Not belong to segment-3 or segment-4

...

    • in order to be targeted.

...


  1. Exclude + Require:
    If a line item

...

  1. targets "exclude segment-3", "exclude segment-4", and "require segment-5,"

...

  1. the user must

...

  1. :

    • Belong to segment-5

...

    • , and
    • Not belong to segment-3 or segment-4 in order to be targeted.
