Attribute-based Targeting is part of the Enterprise Edition.

When to use Attribute-based Targeting?

Attribute-based Targeting helps you achieve a number of goals:
  1. Relevance: Keep survey content relevant to respondents.
  2. Cohort-analysis: Survey specific user cohorts only.
  3. Statistical Relevance: When surveying a smaller subset of users, statistical relevance is reached with a lot less responses.

How does Attribute-based Targeting work?

1

Create a segment

Go to Contacts → Segments and click Create segment.The Segments list
2

Configure it

Open the segment and switch to its Settings tab. Everything under Targeting decides who is in it.A segment's Settings tab
3

Create a Website & App survey

A segment can only target a survey that runs inside your product. In the survey editor, open Settings → Survey Type.The Survey Type section
4

Choose the segment

Still in Settings, open Target Audience and pick the segment.The Target Audience section

Publish your survey

Segment Configuration

Add filter opens one list holding every kind of filter a segment can use. The Add filter dialog There are four means to move Contacts in or out of Segments: Attributes, other Segments, Devices, and Survey Interactions:
  1. Attributes: If the value of a specific attribute matches, the user becomes part of the Segment.
  2. Segments: You can nest Segments meaning that if a user is or is not part of another Segment, they can be included or excluded.
  3. Devices: If a user uses a Phone or Desktop, you can include or exclude them.
  4. Survey Interactions: Include or exclude Contacts based on whether they have seen, started, or completed a survey within a recent time window. See Survey Display Logic for details and use cases like per-survey cooldowns and follow-up funnels.
Any of those four can be combined. Conditions are joined with AND or OR, and a filter group wraps several of them so the two can be mixed without ambiguity — the same reason brackets exist in arithmetic.
