Individual targeting rules force a specific variant for a set of users.

Create an Individual Targeting Rule

To create an individual targeting rule, follow these steps.

1. Go to Confidence and select Flags on the left sidebar
2. Go to the flag you want to add a rule to
3. Click the add rule button in the Rules section
4. Select Create individual targeting rule
5. Step 1: Add a description (optional)

   Describe why you’re adding this rule. This helps others understand the purpose and intended effect.

6. Step 2: Configure the targeting

   • Serve: Select the variant to assign to matching users.
   • To: Select which attribute in the evaluation context to match against (such as User ID).
   • Matching: Enter the specific values that should receive the variant. You can add multiple values or paste a list.
7. Step 3: Choose environments

   Select whether the rule applies to all environments or only specific environments. This step only appears if you have more than one environment.

8. Click Create and activate

   The rule is created and immediately active. To create without activating, use the dropdown menu next to the button.

The rule now gives the selected variant to requests that match any of the values you specified.

Place individual targeting rules at the top of the rule list to ensure they evaluate first. See how to reorder rules.
