Rule Fields
You use rule fields to define rules. Some rule fields appear only for certain recommenders, and other rule fields appear for all recommenders.
This table shows the different field and action options when creating rules and their supported recommenders.
| Field | Description | Supported Recommenders |
|---|---|---|
| Select Anchor Field... | The anchor field uses the category and attributes available within
the product catalog that is assigned to the site. The anchor field and the anchor value are compared to each recommended product returned by the recommender's strategies. If the recommended product's field value matches the value in the anchor field, the system applies the remainder of the rule and executes the specified action, if appropriate. If you select Any Product as the anchor field, you can't specify an anchor value. In this case, all products are considered matches, causing the system to apply the remainder of the rule and, if appropriate, execute the specified action. |
