RecommendationType
The number of recommendation types is extensible and the labels associated with the types in the Business Manager are configurable. RecommendationType is configured with three default values:
- 1 (cross-sell)
- 2 (up-sell)
- 3 (other)
If these types don't satisfy your requirements, you can add new types or rename existing types.
To add additional attribute values, you can:
- Configure them manually in Business Manager: Administration > Site Development > System Object Type > Recommendation.
- Create them as part of a meta data import feed.
