Suppressing Component Product Recommendations

Product offer recommendation can be set at either the component product or root product level. By default, the product displays all recommendations for the assets of a given account. To improve performance, you might want to show recommendations for only the root products, not component products.

To suppress component product recommendations, you set a search specification for the variable map that controls the recommendation, which is Default Product Offer Recommendation Variable Map - Row Set, unless you have configured product offers by creating custom variable maps.

To configure product offers to suppress recommendations

1. Navigate to the Administration - Order Management screen, then the Variable Maps view.
2. In the Variable Maps list, query for the variable map you want.

   If you are using the default variable maps shipped with the product, query for Default Product Offer Recommendation Variable Map - Row Set

3. Drill down on the Work Space version.
4. Lock the Work Space version.
5. Click the Modes view tab.
6. In the row for the mode Any, in the SearchSpec field, to filter out the recommendations that you want to suppress, enter the search specification

   [Asset Id]=[Root Asset Id] .

7. Release the Work Space version, and refresh the cache.
