Create a Collection

Create a collection to organize the products or content you want to show in your recommendations.

  1. Click Recommendations > Collections to display the list of existing collections.

    The Collections page displays a list of your existing collections. You create new collections by clicking the Create Collection button. You can also edit, copy, and delete existing collections by clicking the More Actions icon ( More Actions icon ) next to the desired collection and then by clicking the desired option.

    The “Number of Items” reported for each collection on the Collections list view is the number of products matching the rules for that collection within the configured default Recommendations host group (environment). See Settings to change the default host group.

  2. Click Create Collection.

  3. Type a Name for the collection.

    You can also enter an optional Description.

  4. (Conditional) Choose an environment from the Environment filter while creating (or updating) a collection to preview the contents of the collection in that environment. By default, results from the default host group are displayed.

  5. Set the rules used to build the collection.

    For example, your collection might be built around a product ID or category, margin, or any other parameter in the list.

    You can add rules to use multiple parameters to define a collection. Multiple rules are joined with an AND operator. All specified rules must be matched for the collection to apply.

  6. Click Create.

Edit, copy, or delete a collection

Click the ( More Actions icon ) next to the desired collection in the list, then click the appropriate icon: Edit, Copy, or Delete.

You can copy an existing collection to create a duplicate collection that you can then modify. This lets you create a similar collection with less effort.

Be aware that collections are available across the entire account. Ensure that you consider this before deleting a collection. Deleted collections cannot be recovered.

Use a collection in a Recommendations activity

  1. Create a collection by using one of the methods mentioned above.

  2. Click Activities and create a new Recommendations activity or edit an existing activity.

  3. After you select a criteria and design, the Options page displays where you select the desired collection.

  4. (Conditional) To change an existing collection setting, on the Experiences page (step 1 of the three-part guided workflow), click a location where you placed recommendations, click Change Collection, then select the desired collection.
