Add to Recall Scenarios for all Global Ranking rules (1-4)
-
Product(s) with just
Add to Recall ON
can occupy any random place in the recall set (must be a part of the recall set) and will not be boosted to top/buried to bottom. -
Product(s) with
Boost/Bury
+Add to Recall ON
will result in a Hard Boost/Bury. This means that the product can occupy the top/bottom place in the recall. Use case example: Consider you want a new product to shine across all recommendation widgets. You can create a Global Recommendations rule that applies "Add to Recall ON" + "Boost to Top" operations to the new product. This rule will add the new to the recall and boost it across all recommendations widgets’ recall. -
Product(s) with
Boost/Bury
+Add to Recall OFF
may or may not occupy any place in the recall set depending on the relevance and the available spots in the widget. Use case example: Suppose you want to boost a product for inventory clearance in one go, you can select the product and then select "Boost to Top". This will boost this product across all the recommendations widget recall where this product already sits in.
