Mutually Exclusive Groups in Zoho PageSense

Mutually Exclusive Groups

The Mutually Exclusive Groups setting in Zoho PageSense allows you to organize experiments so that a visitor participates in only one experiment within a group at a time. This prevents multiple experiments from targeting the same visitor simultaneously, which helps maintain accurate test results and avoids conflicting user experiences on your website.


Mutually exclusive groups are particularly useful when you are running multiple experiments on the same page, similar pages, or targeting the same audience segment. By grouping these experiments together, PageSense ensures that each visitor is exposed to only one experiment from the group.

Notes
Note: The Settings icon is located in the top-right corner of your PageSense interface. From there, navigate to Mutually Exclusive Groups under Settings to create and manage experiment groups.
Name
The Name field is used to assign a unique name to the mutually exclusive group. This helps you easily identify the group when managing multiple experiments across your project.

For example, you may create groups such as:
  • Homepage Experiments
  • Pricing Page Tests
  • Checkout Optimization Tests
Using clear naming helps teams understand the purpose of the group and the experiments included in it.


Description

The Description field allows you to add additional information about the purpose of the mutually exclusive group. This may include details about the experiments included, the pages being tested, or the optimization goal.


Providing a short description helps maintain clarity for teams managing multiple experiments.



Select Experiments
The Select Experiments section allows you to choose which experiments should be included in the mutually exclusive group.
Once experiments are added to the group:
  • Visitors will be assigned to only one experiment within the group.
  • They will not be eligible for other experiments in the same group.
  • This prevents experiments from overlapping and affecting each other’s results.

You can select experiments that are in different statuses such as Running, Draft, or Paused, depending on your testing workflow.


Traffic Allocation

The Traffic Allocation setting lets you control how the visitor traffic is distributed among the experiments included in the group.

You can assign a specific percentage of traffic to each experiment. PageSense will then distribute eligible visitors according to the defined allocation.


For example:

  • Experiment A – 50% traffic
  • Experiment B – 50% traffic

This ensures that experiments receive the intended portion of traffic while still maintaining the rule that each visitor participates in only one experiment from the group.


Using Mutually Exclusive Groups helps maintain clean and reliable experiment data when running multiple tests simultaneously. It ensures visitors experience only one variation from a group of experiments, preventing conflicts and improving the accuracy of your optimization results.
