Add to Recall ONcan 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 ONwill 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 OFFmay 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".
