Global Level Configurations
In the Visual Editor, Add to Recall is OFF by default unless you have already enabled it due to an existing Boost to top/Slot rule.
💡 Prerequisite Knowledge
We recommend that you read the following guides:
- Adding Products to Recall: This guide will give you the necessary background to understand Add to Recall operation.
Add to Recall at Global Level
At the Global level, enabling Add to Recall for a product force adds the product to the recall of every page/query.
Applying only Boost to Top / Bury to Bottom operation will boost/bury the product where it’s already part of the recall.
For instance, if 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 queries this product already sits in.
While if you have a new launch which you want to shine across all pages then you can select this product and enable Add to Recall and select Boost to top. This will add this product to recall of all pages and also boost this product across all the pages.
The Add to Recall operation can be combined with boost/bury ranking operations to make global changes to the recall for a variety of use cases.
Scope of Add to Recall changes
Global Ranking Rule: Enabling recall ON for products will force add these products to recall of every query.
Global Category Ranking Rule: Adding products to recall here will add them to every Category recall.
Global Search Ranking Rule: Adding products to recall here will add them to every Search recall.To understand it better, let’s consider you have a product called “black shirt” and you want to boost it in all shirt categories where it already belongs, but not other categories. In this case, you will not enable Add to Recall and only apply the Boost operation.
If you want it to be added to all categories and boosted, you will enable Add to Recall and also apply the Boost operation.
You may use the Visual Editor or the Left-hand side panel for implementing these use cases.
