Target or block affected users by advanced query

You can perform ad hoc targeting or blocking of users based on general attributes, organization hierarchies, geolocation, user attributes, or device types. To target or block users based on advanced query criteria, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Affected Users section, click the 
    By Advanced Query
     tab.
  2. Click the 
    Add Condition
     link.
  3. In the 
    Select Attribute
     dropdown list, select the first attribute, organization hierarchy, geolocation, user attribute, or device you want to use as targeting criteria.
  4. In the 
    Select Operation
     field, select the operation that you want to assign to the attribute. To block users who have specific attributes, select a negative operator such as 
    not equals
     or 
    does not contain
    .
    The list of operators varies depending on the type of attribute selected.
  5. If the Operator you selected in Step 4 requires additional query values, a third field appears on the screen. Enter or select a value for the attribute.
  6. (Optional) Click the 
    Add Condition
     link and then repeat steps 3 through 5 for each additional condition you want to add.
    In order to be included in the target group, users must meet all conditions specified by the condition statements.
    The Affected Users Summary field at the bottom of the Affected Users section updates automatically to display the total number of users who match all of the query conditions you have created.
  7. (Optional) Click the number in the By Advanced Query field within the Affected Users Summary to view a screen that displays the criteria that you created for the advanced query.
  8. (Optional) Modify the query conditions as needed to isolate the exact user group you want to send event-generated alerts to. You can add more conditions by clicking the Add Condition link or remove existing conditions by clicking the  The remove query conditions icon icon next to the condition.
