Configuring the Layout
After having defined all the URLs in which you want the recommendations to display for the particular position, you can style your widget. See the Oracle Maxymiser documentation to learn more.
Note: When configuring the layout, the order of what you do first is not crucial and can be changed.
To set up the layout and style, you need to decide the following:
-
The number of items you want to display (in the recommendations component, items appear as slots).
-
The type of pagination, if there are more items that can be seen on the page.
-
The information you want to include for each item (for instance, in a standard retail scenario, apart from the image and title of a product, you may want to show the price and style of the item).
You would also be required to set up two additional items:
- Variants: If you intend to create variants of the webpage for different target segments or try out different options of recommendation models or positioning of recommendations, you would need to create variants within the content tab. These variants would be used later in the Targeting tab for rendering different versions of the page for different segments of customers.
-
Trigger Actions: You would also need to define a trigger action within the same tab. The action defines when the recommendations would be triggered to load or refresh.
Once, all these elements are setup, you would need to define the Campaign Targeting and publish the campaign thereafter.
