February

  • (Beta) Added the ability to create audiences for Feature Experimentation directly within ODP with the real-time audience builder. This unified approach lets you conduct controlled experiments with an expanded dataset without increasing your project's datafile.
  • Added an integration with Lytics Audience Sync App that lets you import your Lytics audiences into ODP as real-time audiences that you can then use across different Optimizely products, such as Optimizely Web Experimentation, Feature Experimentation, and Content Management System (CMS) Visitor Groups. 

January

  • Released the Real-Time Audience Inspection agent to the Opal Agent Directory, which answers expert questions about an ODP real-time audience, its purpose, how it overlaps with other audiences to achieve your stated goal, and other general troubleshooting queries.
  • Added enhancements to the Opal-suggested real-time audiences. Previously, you were limited to using only customer attributes and had to manually add event conditions. Now, you can create Opal-suggested real-time audiences based on specific events and event sequences. This enhancement also enables Opal to recognize custom customer fields and identify common values in customer or event fields.
