Optimizely <<product-name>> contains four collections of rule types. However, other collections of can be created to meet specific business needs.

<<product-name>> has four basic rule types by default:

  • Categories

  • Personas

  • Promotions

  • Shipping

  • Page Variants (4.3.1+)

  • Restriction Groups (4.3.2+)

Each rule type has a combination of rule type options. These options define the "IF" statement of the rule. New rule types and rule type options are created in the Admin Console, and require custom development in order to assign the rule types to the entity.

Note

To use custom properties in the rules engine, you have to add a Rule Type option of **Custom Property** for the desired rule type in **Administration \> System \> Rule Types**.
