Removal of custom fields
Custom fields in the datafeed can be available as searchfields. If the fields are removed in the datafeed, a customer can now remove the field from the boosts and then remove the field. Click on Remove of the unavailable field.
If the field is connected, you get a warning. Check if the field is removed by accident, because is was used as a Search field. Click on the link if you want to remove the field from Search fields as well.
Ranking rules in Merchandising can now be combined
In the Merchandising module, you can create general and page ranking rules. When generating multiple ranking rules, they will be combined and this influences the results. Creating general ranking rules will also effect the page ranking rules, but you can switch off ranking rules per page. Read the Ranking Rules article for more information.
Use negative boosting to demote the scoring on specific product fields. For example, a brand that has lower margin but you need to have if customers really want it.
Use positive boosting to promote the scoring of specific product fields. For example, sale products in a specific period.
- General ranking rules: will apply on every page unless you deactivate the on general level or page level.
- Page ranking rules: if active will only apply on this page.
- Combined ranking rules: multiple active ranking rules will apply on a page and will influence the results.
- Ranking rule date range: A ranking rule outside the date range will not apply.
