Retrieving IDs from SiteSpect

Variations

In the Variations section of the A/B Campaign, you can see the Original Group and a Variation Group, which define a typical A/B test. When you save a Campaign, SiteSpect assigns a unique ID to each Variation Group. These IDs determine what your application shows to your visitors. In other words, use the ID in your application code and reference a change with it; the Engine API uses this ID when a visitor is assigned. You can use this ID to turn on the Variation you are testing.

The following image shows the Variations section of the New Campaign page in the A/B Campaign Builder after it has been saved. Notice the IDs in the red rectangle which have been accessed via the Show IDs button.
