This section serves as a scope marker — it explains why Personalize configuration is intentionally out of scope here, identifies the prerequisite Academy topics that support future Personalize work, and provides interim references for API-level and experience-level context while the dedicated course is in development. ## Scope and Status ### Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: \- Explain why this topic is intentionally scoped out of the D&I Implementation Academy \- Identify where to continue learning until the dedicated Personalize course is available ### Why This Topic Is Not Covered Here This topic is intentionally blocked in the D&I Implementation Academy. * Full Personalize setup is handled in a separate **Personalize Implementation Course**. * This academy only covers adjacent implementation dependencies (for example, tag setup, audience definitions, and API usage patterns in other topics). * You should not treat this section as a setup guide for enabling Personalize in production. #### Key Concepts * **Course boundary**: this section is a scope marker, not an implementation walkthrough. * **Dependency mapping**: Personalize depends on data quality, identity health, and delivery tooling already covered in this academy. * **Operational readiness**: setup decisions should follow the dedicated Personalize curriculum when available. #### Step-by-Step 1. Confirm this topic status before planning Personalize implementation work. 2. Complete prerequisite academy topics that support Personalize outcomes. 3. Use the interim resources listed below for API-level or experience-level context. 4. Track the dedicated course release before finalizing production setup decisions. #### Examples ```text Scope rule: - Use this section to understand where Personalize setup belongs. - Do not use this section as a substitute for the dedicated Personalize setup course. ``` ### Summary This section establishes that Personalize setup is intentionally out of scope in the D&I Implementation Academy. The dedicated Personalize Implementation Course handles production setup end-to-end. Until that course is available, complete the prerequisite Academy topics and use the interim references in the next section for API and delivery context. ### Documentation Links * [Personalize Overview](https://docs.lytics.com/docs/personalize) * [Experience Delivery](https://docs.lytics.com/docs/experience-delivery) ## Interim Learning Path ### Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: \- Locate related academy sections that support future Personalize setup work \- Use available API and experience references without bypassing course boundaries ### What to Use in the Meantime * For API-level profile lookup patterns, see [Personalize API](/academy/courses/lytics-course/integrations-connections#personalize-api). * For delivery mechanics and experience orchestration, see [Pathfora](/academy/courses/lytics-course/pathfora). * For tag dependency and identity readiness, see [Tag](/academy/courses/lytics-course/tag) and [ID Resolution](/academy/courses/lytics-course/id-resolution). When the dedicated Personalize course is published, this placeholder should be updated to link directly to it. ### Summary The interim path for Personalize work runs through existing Academy sections: the Integrations & Connections module for API-level profile lookup patterns, Pathfora for delivery mechanics and experience orchestration, and the Tag and ID Resolution modules for foundational readiness. None of these are substitutes for the dedicated Personalize course, but they provide the implementation grounding you will need when that course becomes available. ### Documentation Links * [Personalize API Reference](https://docs.lytics.com/docs/personalize-api) * [Identity Resolution](https://docs.lytics.com/docs/identity-resolution) * [JavaScript Tag](https://docs.lytics.com/docs/jstag) ## What You've Learned This section established the scope boundary for Personalize within the D&I Implementation Academy. Personalize setup is a distinct implementation domain handled by its own dedicated course. The Academy covers the adjacent building blocks — tag installation, identity resolution, audience definitions, and delivery mechanics via Pathfora — that Personalize depends on. Until the dedicated course is available, those adjacent modules are the correct interim references for API-level and experience-level context. ### Key Terms > 📘 **Personalize** — A Lytics capability for delivering real-time, profile-driven web experiences. Full setup is covered in the dedicated Personalize Implementation Course, not in this Academy. > > 📘 **Course boundary** — A scope marker indicating that a topic is intentionally excluded from a given curriculum and is handled in a separate, dedicated course. > > 📘 **Operational readiness** — The state in which prerequisite data quality, identity health, and delivery tooling are sufficiently in place to support a production Personalize deployment. #### Key takeaways - Connect **Setting Up Personalize** back to your stack configuration before moving to the next module. - Capture one concrete artifact (screenshot, Postman call, or code snippet) that proves the step works in your environment. - Re-read the delivery versus management boundary for anything you changed in the entry model. ## Supplement for indexing ### Content summary Setting Up Personalize. Full Personalize setup is handled in a dedicated Personalize Implementation Course that is separate from this Academy. This section serves as a scope marker — it explains why Personalize configuration is intentionally out of scope here, identifies the prerequisite Academy topics that support future Personalize work, and provides interim references for API-level and experience-level context while the dedicated course is in development. Scope and Status Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: \- Explain why this topic is intentionally scoped out of the D&I Implementation Academy \- Identify where to continue learning until the dedicated Personalize course is availa ### Retrieval tags - Setting - Personalize - lytics-implementation - lesson 17 - Setting Up Personalize - lytics-implementation lesson ### Indexing notes Index this lesson as a primary chunk tagged with lesson_id "17" and topics: [Setting, Personalize].
