With the widget rules applied, you can change the widget type i.e., the algorithm type. By changing the widget type, you can easily reuse existing widgets.

1. Go to Recommendations > Widget Configurator.

2. Go to the widget you wish to modify, click the dropdown button, and select Widget Global rules.

   

3. On the Widget Global Rules page, click the Edit button next to the rule.  

   

4. On the Widget info screen, go to the Primary Algorithm and select an option from the dropdown menu. 

5. Choose the Secondary Algorithm for the changed Primary algorithm by selecting from the dropdown menu. 
6. Click Save.

Recommendations Algorithms

Refer to the table below to learn about secondary algorithms available for each primary algorithm.

After saving a widget, you have the option of switching its primary algorithm to a compatible algorithm type. The compatible algorithm types belong to the same widget family due to similar API requirements. This ensures that the widget experience stays consistent. The table lists compatible types under the Can be Switched To column.

NOTE: Different widget types have their respective Email Recommendations versions. These widget versions have compatible and secondary algorithms based on the primary algorithm selected. Refer to the table below for more details:

Pathways Algorithms

The below Pathways widgets have no secondary algorithms. Once the widget is saved, it is not possible to switch to a different algorithm as they require unique input types.
