Welcome to our comprehensive guide on leveraging the power of “When to Display” with Dynamic Blocks.
Exploring “When to Display” #
The “When to Display” feature is a pivotal component of the Dynamic Blocks toolkit.
It provides you with the capability to determine exactly when your dynamic blocks should be visible to your website visitors.
This level of control is essential for delivering a personalized and engaging user experience.
Understanding Logical Conditions and Datasets #
Before we dive into the practical aspects of configuring “When to Display,” let’s understand two key concepts:
- Datasets
- Logical Conditions
Datasets #
Datasets are sets of logical conditions that you can use to further refine when your dynamic blocks should appear.
Think of them as collections of rules that add an extra layer of precision to your conditions, ensuring that your blocks are displayed to the right audience at the right time.
For example, you can use datasets to specify that a block should only be displayed to users who have visited a certain number or type of pages or have added items to their cart.
This level of granularity allows for even more precise targeting.
Logical Conditions #
Logical Conditions are rules that you define to trigger the display of your dynamic blocks.
These rules can be based on various factors, such as user behavior, user roles, browser and device specifications, date and time, screen size, URL source, metadata, WooCommerce-specific parameters, or even specific pages on your website.
With over 150 logical conditions at your disposal, you can create highly customized triggers.
To explore all available datasets and logical conditions and how to implement them effectively, refer to our detailed guide on Datasets & Logical Conditions.
Configuring “When to Display” Trigger #
Now, let’s get into the practical steps of configuring the “When to Display” trigger for your dynamic blocks.
In your Dynamic Blocks Plugin, navigate to the “When to Display” section.
- Access the “When to Display” Tabs
- Choose Datasets
First, you’ll choose from a range of datasets that best align with your goals.
Datasets are collections of logical conditions that add an extra layer of precision to your triggers, ensuring that your dynamic blocks are displayed to the right audience at the right time. - Select Logical Conditions
Within your chosen dataset, select the logical conditions that should trigger the display of your dynamic blocks.
These conditions can be based on a variety of factors, from user behavior and roles to device specifications, date and time, and more. - Test and Monitor
Before making your trigger live, it’s a good practice to test it thoroughly.
Ensure that your logical conditions and datasets are working as intended.
Additionally, monitor the performance of your dynamic blocks over time and make adjustments as necessary. - Save and Activate
Once you’re satisfied with your trigger settings, save and activate them.
Your dynamic blocks will now display according to the conditions you’ve set.
