Product Lists

Summary

This module is used to add, amend and delete product lists. Lists are used to manage pages and curated search experiences reached from search redirects. There are 2 list types:

• DDL (Data Driven List), is a query format to create dynamic lists which return the latest products which match that query.

• Lists (manual lists), these are lists of product IDs, which are manually managed.

Manual Lists

Add Products

To add products, select the Edit Manual List button on top right-hand side.

To add an individual SKU (recommended when adding 5 SKUs or less), put the SKU number in the search products bar. The product will appear and then click the blue tick so that it appears as per the below and it gives you the Add Products button option:

To add a longer list of SKUs (5 or more), create a list of the SKU numbers into a CSV in the format below:

Click on the Upload CSV button on the right hand side and locate file for upload.

If you want the products you have just added to replace the products currently in the list, tick Overwrite existing products.

If you want the products you have just added to be pinned to the top of the list, tick Add as pinned products.

Click Add Products to add the SKUs to the list. Nothing will save until you click Save Changes, so once you are happy click this to save the list.

If you made a mistake and don’t want to save the list, click the Back page button at the top left, a message will appear so you can leave without saving.

Delete Products

To delete any product from the list, use the tick boxes to select respective SKUs. A bar will appear with the red Delete button, remove SKUs by selecting this.

Pin Products

If you want the products to be pinned to the top of the list, you can either select the blue Pin button on the right side of each product, or use the tick box to select respective product(s) and then select the pin button on the bar.

Data Driven Lists

Creating a Query

When a product is set up on the system it is given certain attributes for different properties. We can use these attributes in DDLs to get products of certain brands/categories/titles (properties) into one list. To create a new DDL, select the Edit Query button in the Trigger section on the left hand side:

When a product is set up on the system it is given certain attributes for different properties. We can use these attributes in DDLs to get products of certain brands/categories/titles (properties) into one list.

Notations

Syntax notations are used to describe the structure and rules of a programming language. These notations provide a standardised way to represent the grammar and syntax of a language.

DDLs are case sensitive, so all properties and attributes must be written in the correct case.

Operators

In a product list syntax, the terms “AND” and “OR” typically refer to logical operators used to combine or connect multiple conditions for filtering or querying the data.

Anatomy

Pinning

Pinning of products allows the user to manually select specific products to appear at the top of a list. To pin products, select the products you wish to feature prominently.

Once the Pin products or Edit pinned products (depending on the case) button is selected, you are able to select the products you would like to pin.

If you want the products to be pinned to the top of the list, you can either select the Pin button on the right side of each product, or use the tick box to select respective product(s) and then select the pin button on the bar.

If you want to un-pin products, you can do it by clicking on the up-pin button on the right side of each product, or use the tick box to select respective product(s) and then select the un-pin button on the bar.

Within the same section dedicated to Pinned products, you can select a certain product to be moved at the top / at the bottom of the list.

Once reviewed then the Apply button can be selected to save the rule.

Boosting

Boosting of products allows the user to influence the position of certain products in a list. Products can be prioritised by applying rules on a product attribute. To create boosting rules, select the Choose attributes to boost button in the Strategy section:

Once the blue Add boost button is selected, you are able to select a Property and Attribute in the respective drop down field. For example, the property averageReviewScore_auto_content and attribute 5.0 is selected below:

The Add property button allows user to select up to 5 more boost rules.

The Preview tab can be selected to review the boosted products:

Once reviewed then the Apply button can be selected to save the rule.

To delete any boosting rules or attributes then the respective Remove boost and Remove attribute button can be selected.

Burying

Burying of products allows the user to influence the position of certain products in a list. Products can be deprioritised by applying rules on a product attribute. To create burying rules, select the Choose attributes to bury button in the Strategy section:

Once the blue Add bury button is selected, you are able to select a Property and Attribute in the respective drop down field. For example, the property Size_variation and attribute Size 8 is selected below:

The Add property button allows user to select up to 5 more bury rules.

The Preview tab can be selected to review the buried products.

Once reviewed then the Apply button can be selected to save the rule.

To delete any burying rules or attributes then the respective Remove bury and Remove attribute button can be selected.
