Add purpose to configuration tree

Access Type: Configuration Tree - Editor

Premium Feature: Preference Management Platform

A purpose describes the reason your organization is collecting the end-user's preference data within your PMP configuration tree. In this article, we will cover how to add a purpose to your PMP configuration tree so that you can subsequently map a preference(s) to it .

Click Preference Management on the left-hand panel.

Select the Configuration Tree tab on the subsequent page and click Add a purpose.

On the subsequent page, your organization will find a list of custom purposes that can be added to your PMP configuration tree.

Create new purpose to add

If the necessary purpose has not been added to your organization's data manager yet, your organization can add the purpose directly from the PMP configuration tree flow.

While you will not need any additional permissions to add a purpose from this flow, you will be unable to edit or delete the purpose from your organization's data manager without the appropriate permissions.

Click Create a new purpose.

Use the subsequent modal to give your purpose a name and a description in the provided fields. Click Save when finished.

The newly created purpose will be added to your organization's data manager and appear on the list of custom purposes you can add to your organization's PMP configuration tree.

Select the checkbox inline with the new purpose name and click Add to my Configuration Tree.

Add purpose from list

If the custom purpose has already been added to your organization's data manager and appears on the list, your organization can add the purpose to your PMP configuration tree by selecting the checkbox inline with the purpose name and clicking Add to my Configuration Tree.

Added purposes will appear in your organization's PMP configuration tree so that your organization can map preferences to the purpose.

Newly added purposes and their mapped preferences will need to be added to any published preferences widgets and then the widgets republished for the purpose and its preferences to surface to end-users.
