Working with trait rules trait-rules

In your worksheet, the trait rule column returns and accepts rules that consist of Boolean expressions, comparison operators, and regular expressions. You can create rules with trait or segment builder in Audience Manager and copy them to your worksheet. Or, if you’re familiar with rule syntax, you can write expressions directly in the worksheets.

Let’s take a look at an example that demonstrates how to use Segment Builder to create a rule you can to the bulk worksheet. However, this isn’t a set of step-by-step instructions for those tools.

With the visual rule builder, we’ve created a segment rule with 3 traits and a Boolean AND operator.

Paste the rule into the Bulk Management Tools worksheet and commit your changes to update segment rules in bulk.
