6.1.2 brings bug fixes and some enhancements to the Elastic Path Commerce platform, mainly in the areas of the Tagging Framework and CM client usability (list sorting and searching). At a glance:
- Geo IP tags: 6.1.1 introduced Dynamic Contentand the Tagging Framework, which gave marketers the ability to personalize the shopping experience based on who the customer is (age, referring site, search engine terms). With the addition of Geo IP tags in 6.1.2, it's now possible to target content based on the shopper's geographic location (city, state, country, region, etc.).
- Visited categories tag: a new tag in the Tagging Framework that keeps track of the categories that the the shopper has visited.
- Cart subtotal tag: tracks the shopping cart subtotal.
- In-site search terms tag: contains the search terms entered in the storefront's search box.
- Generic condition builder: 6.1.1 included a simple UI for building Dynamic Content Delivery conditions. 6.1.2 expands on that with a more flexible, intuitive UI. (If you've worked with Google Analytics' advanced segments feature, it should look familiar.) This new UI was developed as an RCP UI widget, so it can easily be leveraged for other scenarios that require a condition builder to configure tag evaluation.
- Tag value types and validation constraints: you can now configure critieria for validating the tag values entered in the Dynamic Content Delivery dialog.
- Selectable values for tags: you can use drop-down lists to set tag values in the Dynamic Content Delivery dialog.
- Saved conditions: it is now possible to create Dynamic Content Delivery conditions and save them for use in other Dynamic Content Deliveries.
- Tag groups: tags can now be assigned to tag groups, to provide better visual organization in the Dynamic Content Delivery dialog.
- Tag localization: tags, tag groups, and validation constraints now support localization through the TLOCALIZEDPROPERTIES table.
There'll be some blog posts to go in depth on some of these topics, so keep watching this space.
