    More background on the question here: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-target-questions/adobe-target-recommendation-activity-the-most-viewed-products/m-p/712791/highlight/true#M11610 

    Target is displaying recommendation based on visitors behaviour. So creating a product feed and creating the activity is a great start, next step is to ensure that Target is informed every time a product is viewed and puchased. In order for Target to receive these information you need to be passing entity parameters on every product view. Read more about it here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/target/using/recommendations/entities/entity-attributes

    The minimum entity to set is entity.id - it is important that this id is the same as the id used in your product feeds. You then use your product feeds to add meta data to the product id. 

    Once the entity.id is set on every product page, Target will start collecting how many times a product is viewed. This is required in order for Target to create the most viewed criterias.

    I hope this helps!

        In production, yes.

         

        In development for testing, no.

        For example, if your design is only developed to show 6 product recommendations, there is no point in collecting data from all 43 products from a testing perspective. However, in production you would like to ensure that the most viewed products are shown. In order for Target to know which product(s) are the most viewed you need to be collecting data for all of them.

         

        When it comes to recommendation you can think of Target like Analytics. In order for the Criterias to know what to show it needs data - this data is collected through the entity parameters when visitors view and purchase products.

        You can set multiple entity parameters. This is primarily for the purpose of using this meta data in the Criterias or in your design - e.g. you can pass in whether a product is in stock or not and then configure you criteria to not promote products if they are not in stock.

        For some it is easier to add this meta data through a feed. In those scenarios you would only implement the entity.id and this value then functions as a key for when you upload all the data about the product via the feed.

        The feed on the other hand has nothing to do with providing data into which product is the most viewed - this is purely done through the entity.id parameter.
