Use-case configurations

The use-case configuration-menu is for cross Widget configuration. For example, you want to promote products with a specific colour on the home page, in the search results and in the basket recommendations. You can either make the same configuration changes three different times or create one configuration for all of the widgets.

First you navigate to Strategies -> Use-Case Configs and click on “+Add” to create a new one.

Open

Next you can set the status to active, if it isn’t already, green stands for active.

Open

Then you can click on the pencil button, which allows you to edit your configuration. A dialog window appears, with three tabs inside. Inside the general tab, you’ll find an input field with the label “name” at the left side. Now you give your configuration a name inside there.

In the next tab you configure in which case the use-case should be applied and how important it is.

In the General tab you set this part of the configuration to active and for which widgets it should apply to. Either select specific widgets or select All Widgets and exclude the ones, it shouldn’t apply to.

In the Ordering tab you can set the position, the priority and the type of the use-cases you will configure.

In the Accounts tab you can define if the use-cases will also get carried over to your other linked Boxalino intelligence accounts.

And in the Parameters tab you can simply add some custom parameters, if you need them.

Next, in the Use Cases-tab you will find a view, identical to the widget configuration in the Widget & Page Optimizers menu. It works in the exact same way. You can find your desired use-case and drag it to the configuration. To edit it simply click on the use-case.

When you are done, you can click on save and afterwards Save&Test. Then you can proceed to test the behaviour in the test view and when you are satisfied, publish it in that respective view.
