This article helps you:
Specify which users will be able to see your experiment
Limit experiment exposure based on user segments
Now that you’ve defined the events that make up your experiment, define who's eligible for bucketing into the experiment. In the Audience section of the experiment design panel, you can choose to open eligibility up to all users, or you can target specific groups of users.
Targeting groups of users to limit experiment exposure to users in geographical locations, specific demographic groups, or who meet certain usage thresholds in your product (like power users). To do so, define a user segment to target, by selecting Targeted Users and clicking into Segment 1. Then follow the same steps you’d use to build a user segment in Amplitude Analytics:
Add more segments by clicking Add Segment.
All Amplitude user properties and cohorts are available to use in defining user segments. Note that the value for any user property included in a rule-based user segment is always the most recent value received by Amplitude.
There is no limit on the number of user segments you can include here. Any user who belongs to more than one segment included in an experiment is assigned to the first one they match.
Amplitude applies Boolean AND
logic to conditions within the same segment. These conditions are evaluated as if, else if
. For example, you have two Segments:
Segment 1: Users in India and who access your site through the Web.
Segment 2: Users who use Android devices and access your website through the mobile browser.
Using Boolean logic, both conditions for a segment must be met to include users in the experiment. If users access your website but aren't located in India, they're not included in Segment 1. Likewise, if users access your site through an iOS device, they aren't included in Segment 2.
The if, else if
evaluation means that a user is evaluated if they meet the conditions for Segment 1. If not, they're evaluated if they meet the conditions for Segment 2.
The next step is setting up your experiment’s variants.
