## What are Student Targeting Rules?

**Think of LifterLMS Student Targeting Rules as smart filters** that show popups to the right learners at the right time based on their course progress, quiz performance, membership status, and achievements.

### Here's an example

You can show a congratulations popup only to students who scored above 90% on a quiz, or display study materials to students who haven't completed a specific lesson yet.

### Where do I find these Targeting Rules?

When you [create or edit a Popup Maker popup](https://wppopupmaker.com/docs/getting-started/create-your-first-popup-summary-guide/), go to **Popup Settings** > **Targeting**. Click the dropdown to see all available LifterLMS student targeting rules.

Always remember to **Publish** or **Save** your popup after you're done editing and adding targeting rules.

OK, let's go through each LifterLMS student targeting rule you can use in Popup Maker.

## Course Enrollment Status

Use the **Course Enrollment Status** targeting rule to show popups based on whether your students are enrolled in or have completed specific courses.

You can use this rule to show enrollment campaigns to non-enrolled students or celebrate completion with students who have finished a course.

### 1. Click Course Enrollment Status from the dropdown

### 2. Select one or more courses

Click **Select Courses** to select one or more courses from your LifterLMS catalog.

### 3. Choose an enrollment status

In the **Enrollment Status** dropdown, select either **Enrolled** (student currently enrolled) or **Completed** (student has finished the course).

### 4. Click Require all (optional)

If you select multiple courses, check **Require all** to require students to meet the status for ALL courses. Leave it unchecked if you want students to meet the status for ANY course.

### Common Use Cases

- Target students enrolled in "Course A" only
- Target students who completed both "Course A" **AND** "Course B"
- Target students enrolled in ANY of the specified courses, e.g., "Course C" **OR** "Course D"
- Use NOT operator to target students NOT enrolled in "Course A" (for enrollment campaigns)

## Lesson Completion

Use the **Lesson Completion** targeting rule to show popups based on which lessons your students have completed.

**Note:** This rule does not track or report on progress percentage (e.g., "50% through course"). It only checks the status of individual lessons.

### 1. Click Lesson Completion from the dropdown

### 2. Select one or more lessons

Click **Select Lessons** to select one or more lessons from your LifterLMS courses.

If you select multiple lessons, check **Require all** if you want students to complete ALL lessons. Leave it unchecked if you want students to complete ANY lesson.

### Common Use Cases

- Target students who completed "Lesson 5" to show next lesson
- Target students who completed lessons 1, 2, **AND** 3 (all prerequisites completed)
- Target students who completed **ANY** of three specific lessons, e.g., lessons 4 **OR** 5 (any prerequisites completed)
- Use NOT operator to target students who have NOT completed "Lesson 3"

## Quiz Score

Use the **Quiz Score** targeting rule to show popups based on student quiz performance. Perfect for showing study guides to low scorers or bonus content to high achievers.

**Note:** This rule checks only the most recent quiz attempt.

From the **Score Type** dropdown, select either **Low Score (Below Threshold)** for remedial content or **High Score (Above Threshold)** for advanced content.

### 4. Enter a Score Threshold (%)

Enter a number between 0-100. Default is 80. This is the percentage score threshold for this targeting rule.

### Common Use Cases

- Score above 90% → show bonus content
- Score below 60% → show remedial resources
- Score above 85% → show advanced course recommendation
