Validate Widget Events in Events Management

For Recommendations and Pathways customers, we have added new checks for Widget pixel types.

What improved?

• Events Management dashboard now offers Widget pixel types such as Widget click, Widget view, and Widget add to cart. You can validate these events in both Integration and Live modes.

  

• We've also implemented reliability and UI optimizations to ensure a smooth and stable user experience.

Adjust Product Grid Layout with New Column Settings

You can now choose the number of columns in your global and local Product grid settings.

What improved?

Column number settings allow you to specify the number of columns in the product grid to ensure that the Visual Editor grid reflects the one on your website. This helps you define the number of products per row, offering granular control over the visual hierarchy.

Settings Access

• Single site customers: Column settings are visible in both global and local Product grid settings

• Multi-site customers: At the site level, Column settings are visible in both global and local Product grid settings. At the account level, new settings are visible in local Product grid settings.

🚧

Known Issues

There are a few workflow issues with ranking rules related to changing the number of products per row. We are working on fixing these issues.

Visual Search API Usage Metrics in Usage App

The Usage App now also tracks the usage of the Visual Search APIs.

What improved?

We have added 3 new Request Types to the Usage app tracking. You can use the following filters to display the usage of different APIs individually:

• visual-search: Tracks the number of Visual Search requests made on an uploaded image.
• visual-upload: Tracks the number of times an image is uploaded through the Visual Upload endpoint.
• visual-widget: Tracks the number of requests made to the Visual Recommendations API.

🐛Bug fixes

• Dynamic Categories: We've fixed an issue where attribute values wouldn't load correctly in the value selection dropdown. The dropdown should now populate values as expected. However, note that there might be a slight delay if the attribute values list is very large. We will fix the UI delay in the next release.
• Category rule: We resolved an issue where pressing enter/return after inputting a valid category ID returned an error. Now, the category selection works as expected.
