Data Engineering

Added Session, Device Id, User Id Counts to Recommend Segment Report

Dashboard

Improvements in the Left Rail Navigation

The following improvements have been made in the left rail navigation of the Omni Channel Personalization Dashboard.

  1. Users can now select a submenu and move the scrollbar up or down, while doing so if the mouse goes out of left navigation, the menu doesn’t close automatically anymore.
  2. The left navigation menu can now stay in open state which prevents continuous in and out sliding of the left rail providing a better user experience when a user visits multiple pages.
  3. A Tooltip has been added for the Email Address when the Email Address value gets truncated.

Science:

Configurable Strategy providing unexpected recommendations

A client raised the issue that the Configurable Strategy using the 'Bought together in order' model and ‘omnichannel purchase history’ as the seed, returned all the products in the recommendations based on the previous purchases. However, the "Include the seed product with the product recommendations" option should include only one seed product in the recommendations instead of recommending all products from the user’s history when the user history is selected as a seed. This issue has been fixed now.
