Release Summary - July 2020

Recommend

Configurable Strategies has been made available to all clients. This feature enables you to create your own strategies through a simple interface. You can view the results of the new strategy as you are selecting options. Multiple models have been enabled along with different options. For example, you could setup a strategy for Electronics Top Sellers with recommendations re-ranked to better match a user's affinities.

As you select options click to View Results at any time to see the product recommendations returned for the selected seed.

An option has been added for clients that use regions, where you no longer have to provide region data for products that span all regions. With this option enabled, product recommendations will no longer filter out products if they are not regionalized.
