Navigating to authenticated areas in Target

I'm trying to navigate using the visual composer to authenticated pages, but whenever I try to login in via the browse functionality, it fails and loops back to the login screen (I know this works fine in production). 

Is this an issue with Adobe or is there another workaround.

One option I was considering was saving a local version of the page and making the changes on that then applying it to the correct URL - but it doesn't look like you can edit local versions of the pages in Visual Composer - any other ideas?

Hi Elan,

Thank you for your note.

  1. If you are only looking to setup a campaign on those ‘hidden’ pages then it is pretty simple. You can navigate to the page normally on the browser and once you reach the ‘hidden’ page copy and paste the URL in the Target UI at the start of creating a campaign. Ensure Target Standard is opened in the same browser in a different tab.
  2. I am not sure if I understood the second question properly, but if the question is “is there a way to setup a test for a common domain in the URL, without worrying about the other key-value pair parameters” then the answer is Yes.

Select the “Configure” icon on the top of the Target interface and select “URL”

Then in the advanced options select the ‘URL contains xyz” condition (as shown below). So now the test would run on all the pages that match the URL condition specified irrespective of the key-value parameters that could be appended to the URL.

This is actually called Template testing and the relevant help link is here:

Hope this helps!
