Overview

Business Rules are manually configured filtering conditions applied on top of the strategy to target a specific subset of products. Only those products that match the filtering conditions are displayed on the module. You can configure multiple business rules as long as every condition is met and yields results to serve the product recommendations. Business Rules can be set while configuring models and while creating an experience.

For example: 

For Business use case - To display only dresses priced less than or equal to $100 in “Most Popular Dresses” 

Set Filtering Condition: 

Filter: Price

Condition: less than or equal to

Value: 100

Value Type: $

Apply To:

Attribute: Category

Condition: Is

Value: Dresses

Warning: Avoid creating conflicting business rules as they can yield inconsistent or no results.
