Announcing 9 new publishing assignments in EngageBox 3.4.0

In no other release has there ever been so many new Assignments in one! As you probably guessed, this is a really rich feature release packed with a wide variety of new assignments and new smart tags to accompany them!

9 New Assignments

The amount of flexibility in terms of when exactly do you want your boxes to pop up has just skyrocketed! As if that wasn't enough, you'll notice a significant revamp of the Assignments UI aimed to save you time and explain the different options much better than before.

With these 9 new assignments you are able to really fine tweak your Engage Box based on very distinct details such as the User ID, the Time on Site, the Browser and many many more!

Let's take a look at them one by one.

User ID

With the User ID Assignment you can select on which particular User(s) you would like the box to appear or not.

The Time Range Assignment is really self explanatory and powerful through its simplicity as you can set exactly on which time period of the day you'd like the box to appear or not.

Operating System

Distinguishing between Windows and Mac is a great advantage. With the Operating System Assignment you can target more than just these two major OS!

Component

Wouldn't it be nice to see which component is active on certain page and then display a box focused on this information? A directory component would be a nice use case for a box informing them of signing up into that directory! The Component Assignment can help you achieve that!

IP Address

There isn't much to say about the IP Address Assignment other than that it is the swiss army knife of any network knowledgeable administrator and it can greatly assist into distinguishing its traffic and popping boxes according to that.
