User Targeting

Structure of Rules and Conditions

circle-info

Important!

Rules and conditions can be structured using the following combinations:

(1) Property Key + Operator + Property Value

(2) A/B Test (Feature Flag) + Operator + A/B Test Group (Feature Flag Status Value)

(3) Targeting Group + Operator + User Group Key

For example, if you are collecting users' operating systems under a property key called osName and want to target Android users among mobile operating systems, you can create the following combination:

  • Property Key: osName

  • Operator: Is one of

  • Property Value: Android, android

The first combination created becomes the first rule.

Property Key and Property Value

For more details about properties, refer to the Properties documentation.

A/B Test Targeting

You can use an A/B Test as a targeting condition to run an A/B Test with Remote Config. For more details, refer to the A/B Test with Remote Config documentation.

Operator

Operators are used when configuring conditions and describe the relationship between a property key and a property value. Hackle provides a total of 22 operators. You must select the appropriate operator based on the type of the property value for the selected property key.

Configuring User Targeting

Configure user targeting for a parameter

The following describes the values to enter or select and each button when configuring a parameter:

  1. Rule Name

  2. Property Key

  3. Operator Select the appropriate operator based on the type of the property key.

  4. Property Value Depending on the operator, selection may not be possible, or multiple values may be selectable.

circle-info

A newly added rule is evaluated only if the preceding rule is not satisfied.

Real-time Status

View the number of users exposed to the Remote Config within the last 30 minutes. The Update button becomes active every 30 seconds, so you can click it to refresh and see the most up-to-date status.

Change History

Remote Config changes are recorded in chronological order. Through the change history, you can review what other collaborators have created or modified.

Click "View Details" to see the before and after content of each modification.

Archiving

  • You can archive a parameter when it is no longer needed.

  • Since up to 20 active parameters can be used simultaneously, archive unused parameters to make room for new ones.

Note that once a parameter is archived, it cannot be reactivated, so please decide carefully.

Archive parameter
Archived parameters cannot be reactivated or modified.
