  5. Select a content type from the drop-down menu.
    Note
    If you do not see the content type you need, you can create a new tag.
    Content Type tags are useful for organizing your content, but they are also tied to Funnel Stage and Estimated Cost. Click here to learn more about setting up Content Type tags.

Content Engagement Score

Each content asset can have its own score signifying meaningful engagement. This is set by defining how many seconds a visitor must engage with the content asset, and what score they will be given after that time threshold has been met.

Note
We recommend leaving the Engagement Score at the default setting when you are first setting up your content, and make adjustments later once you have an established baseline.

Internal Configuration

Note
You are also able to edit all fields after the content assets have been added to the Content Library.
  1. The Internal Name is only visible within your PathFactory instance, and will not be seen by the public.
    Note
    You can include any markers or abbreviations which are meaningful to your organization and will help you keep your content assets organized. Click here for naming convention suggestions.

  2. Funnel Stage and Estimated Cost will be automatically populated once you have selected a Content Type in Public Configurations.
    You can override these default values.

    Note
    Click Reset to Default to cancel the changes you made. This will revert the values back to the default values attributed to the Content Type.

  4. Add an Expiry Date. You can either type in a date, or click the arrow to select from a calendar.
    Note
    Your content will not be deleted or made inactive after its expiry date; this feature allows you to keep track of content assets which should not be used after a certain date. For example, you may not want to use a holiday-specific content asset after that holiday.
    You can view your expiring and expired content assets using the Content Library Summary.
