Having open-ended values for criteria such as query-parameters can be confusing for marketers. There should be a way to limit values to predefined options.

Motivation

A good example is Device Brand (or worse Device Model) criteria. There is no real way for a marketing person to have a firm grasp of what the allowable values for this field could or should be. The taxonomy of values should be defined by a domain expert which the marketing person can then refer to easily.

A second benefit is reusing the same taxonomy in various places across a site or portal instance.

The segment designer should not have to keep track of taxonomy of values for concepts foreign to them when building criteria.

Acceptance Criteria

• when creating a condition whose input is free-form it should be possible to draw from an established taxonomy
• accessing a given taxonomy should be easy and intuitive
• defining a taxonomy should not require software development
• taxonomies should be available across multiple input scenarios besides
  • content creation
  • content filtering
  • configuration management
  • user segmentation
