You have now set up your personas and can score your content, campaigns, and referrals against these personas.
If you want to tweak the working of the persona scoring in-depth, you can go to the advanced settings of a persona group.
Here you have the option to set different parameters:
Threshold value. This threshold value needs to be reached before a persona can become active. In this case, a persona needs to have 25 points at least before a visitor can be this persona.
The minimal deviation. This setting specifies the minimal deviation between the persona with the highest and second-highest scores. This can be specified in an absolute value or a percentage.
The minimal deviation percentage. The percentage specifies the minimum difference between the highest and second-highest scores before a Persona becomes active. In this case, the difference between the first and second persona should be at least 25%.
The absolute value deviation. The absolute value specifies the minimum difference between the highest and second-highest scores before a persona becomes active.
The expiration type. Specify whether the implicit persona scoring expires. This can be set to 'never' when it does not expire or can be set to a number of days or sessions.
The maximum points to score. Specify the maximum number of points that can be scored per persona per item.
By adjusting these settings you can tweak the performance of the Umbraco Engage algorithm.
