Asset Library Enhancements: Batch Upload, Update and Archive, and Tags

Collectively, these enhancements streamline your asset management workflows and boost productivity.

Experience Options gives you an unprecedented level of targeting control for your workflows. Set entrance criteria based on previous entrances (lifetime, simultaneous, and recent) and/or segmentation criteria (e.g., segment membership and people properties). And set global exit criteria that automatically eject people who complete an event that no longer qualifies them for your experience at any point in their journey.

New Transparent Alert System for Segments and Audience's Ineligible for Export 

To provide greater transparency, we’ve introduced an alert system for segments and audiences that may not be eligible for ZMP export based on Zeta's data governance guidelines and our partners' audience targeting policies.

This warning system will also apply to experiences that use the ‘Split by Zeta Segment’ and select a restricted segment. If you had planned to use an ineligible segment or destination for export, you can then decide whether to change your targeting parameters or use an eligible destination, such as Zeta’s DSP.
