Overlays: Display and timing

The Display and timing tab in your overlay blueprint or version defines when, where and how you want your overlay to display to visitors on your site:

Display settings

Select from the dropdown to either:

• Target or exclude pages (e.g. product pages or shopping cart), or;
• Show on every page.

If you choose Target or exclude pages, you can specify them using the Contains/Doesn’t contain filters:

If you include more than one option, Ometria uses AND logic. 

In this example, the overlay shows on both the earrings AND rings pages:

If you want to show your overlay on all pages and exclude only a few of them, use the Doesn’t contain option.

Tags

If you have one store URL for all of your markets (e.g. example.com serves the UK, US, Germany, France, etc.), then you'll need to set JavaScript tags on your store to use multi-market overlays.

See: Overlays tags

When to display

Select either:

• the Show on entry after x seconds option and set how many seconds after the page has loaded that the overlay should display, or;
• the Show on exit option to display the overlay when a visitor is leaving the page - on desktop this means the visitor's mouse leaves the window, on mobile this means the visitor is scrolling upwards quickly.

Frequency rules

Next, set your Frequency rules, i.e. when to stop showing your overlay to visitors. 

• Stop showing after overlays displayed x times
• Don’t show again if the form is closed
• Always show overlay
