Manage Columns
The Manage Columns feature in the View menu of the LPO Manage Recommendations, LPO Run Overview, and LPO What-if Results screens lets you save, name, and manage multiple custom column configurations (views). This allows you to easily switch between different column setups for exporting, reporting, or analysis, without needing to reselect columns each time.
To create a new column set:
- Open the Manage Columns option from the View menu in the Manage Recommendations table.
- Choose or remove the desired columns.
- Select Save Column Set to store your configuration.

Query Builder
The Query Builder allows you to build a complex query, with a grouping of columns in the Manage LPO Recommendations and AND/OR logical operators within and between groups (for example, Recommended Price Type = Markdown and (Brand = Green or Markdown Number <= 2) and Remaining Inventory (at BOP>5) between 10 and 20).
For example, a query can now be constructed as follows:
Price Zone Not Contains 'CO' AND (Ticket Price ends with .97 OR Ticket Price ends with .93 OR Ticket Price ends with .87 OR Ticket Price ends with .84)
All records will then be returned that exclude price zones beginning with CO, with ticket prices ending in .97, .93, .87, or .84.
To perform this action, first select the columns, choose the applicable operator (such as =, !=, contains, not contains, or in), enter the desired values, and set And/Or conditions. Nested groups can be created by clicking the three dots beside a column and selecting columns to group within the query. The nested groups are indicated by a vertical line in the left-hand side of the selected column.
Charts
Certain stages have associated charts available on the right-hand side of the display that list data in a tabular format.
Embedded Help
Embedded help, which you access by clicking the Question Mark icon, provides additional information about the details required by certain fields.
