Which profile attribute type is calculated automatically based on visitor behavior?

Question

Options

• AProfile parameter
• BCustomer attribute
• CDerived attribute
• DStatic attribute

• A
  14% (3)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  73% (16)
• D
  9% (2)

Explanation

Derived attributes (C) are automatically calculated by the system based on accumulated visitor behavior data - things like pages visited, purchase history, or engagement patterns. The system derives insights from this behavioral data without requiring manual input.

Why the others are wrong:

• A. Profile parameter - These are manually set or passed in via API/mbox parameters; they don't auto-calculate from behavior.
• B. Customer attribute - These are uploaded offline data sets (e.g., CRM data, loyalty status) imported from external sources, not generated from on-site behavior.
• D. Static attribute - The name itself signals the opposite of dynamic calculation; static attributes don't change based on behavior.

Memory tip: Think "derived = derived from behavior." Just as a math value can be derived from other numbers, a derived attribute is computed from what a visitor actually does - making it the only truly automatic, behavior-driven type.
