Confirm with Create.

The Edit Component dialog box opens.

Enter the details in the Adobe Target Settings tab:

• Authentication: IMS

• Tenant ID: the Adobe IMS Tenant ID. See also the Tenant ID and Client Code section.

  note note
  NOTE
  For IMS, this value must be taken from Target itself. You can log into Target and extract the Tenant ID from the URL.
  For example, if the URL is:
  https://experience.adobe.com/#/@yourtenantid/target/activities
  Then you would use yourtenantid.

• Client Code: See the Tenant ID and Client Code section.

• IMS Configuration: select the name of the IMS Configuration

• API Type: REST

• A4T Analytics Cloud Configuration: Select the Analytics Cloud configuration that is used for target activity goals and metrics. You need this if you are using Adobe Analytics as the reporting source when targeting content. If you do not see your cloud configuration, see the note in Configuring A4T Analytics Cloud Configuration.

• Use accurate targeting: By default this check box is selected. If selected, the cloud service configuration waits for the context to load before loading content. See note that follows.

• Synchronize segments from Adobe Target: Select this option so you can download segments that are defined in Target to use them in AEM. Select this option when the API Type property is REST, because inline segments are not supported and you must always use segments from Target. (The AEM term of ‘segment’ is equivalent to the Target ‘audience’.)

• Client library: Select whether you want the AT.js client library, or mbox.js (deprecated).

• Use Tag Management System to deliver client library: Use DTM (deprecated), Adobe Launch, or any other tag management system.

• Custom AT.js: Leave blank if you checked the Tag Management box or to use the default AT.js. Alternatively upload your custom AT.js. Only appears if you have selected AT.js.

Click Connect to Target to initialize the connection with Adobe Target.

If the connection is successful, the message Connection successful is displayed.

Select OK on the message, followed by OK on the dialog box so you can confirm the configuration.

You can now proceed to Adding a Target Framework to configure ContextHub or ClientContext parameters that are sent to Target. Note this may not be required for exporting AEM Experience Fragments to Target.
