Assign a custom profile value to an item
As visitors move through your website, they are assigned the profile values that you have defined for each item that they visit. These values accumulate as the visitor navigates through the site, and they help to build up a visitor profile.
Typically, you use profile cards, or saved sets of profile values, to apply profile values to content. However, some items may not match the profile cards that you have created. In this case, you can assign custom profile values to the item.
You can also assign custom profile values to multiple items at the same time using the search function in the Content Editor.
You can only assign custom profile values to items if, in the Select Profile Card dialog, in the Authoring Selection field, you have selected Single.

-
In the Experience Editor, navigate to the page or content item that you want to assign profile values to.
-
In the Optimization group, in the Page Profile Settings tab, click Assign Profile Cards.

In the Profile Card Editor, find the profile key that you want to select and click Edit.
