About visitor and journey attributes
When you create segments or outcomes, you define visitor and journey attributes:
- Visitor attributes are characteristics that all the visitors in the group share. Examples of visitor attributes are visitors who use Chrome and visitors from Canada.
- Journey attributes are actions on your website that all the visitors in the group have taken. Examples include completing a form or going to a specific webpage.
You must specify at least one visitor attribute or visitor journey per segment or outcome.
You complete the same process of defining visitor attributes and visitor journeys when you create both segments and outcomes. However, visitor attributes and visitor journeys are not shared across segments and outcomes.Visitor attributes
Visitor attributes identify visitors based on characteristics like location, browser, device type, and so on.

Journey attributes
- The system doesn't validate free form text. If you misspell a value, the segment doesn't trigger. For example, typing "ACB Retailer" when the page title is "ABC Retailer".
- When specifying time for a custom web event, include milliseconds.
- When specifying numeric values for a custom web event, only numeric relational operators are available. For example, say you have a custom event called "CartValue" and you want to target all customers who have a cart value of $100 or more. You would select the "greater than or equal to" operator and type 100 in the value box. Note: You can include decimal points but not the currency symbol.
