@Jon_Tehero  Hi -> with the new A4T view in workspace, will we ever use calculated metrics within the view to get confidence levels? Any tips for using this now? Thanks.


Hi @mravlich,

 

This is definitely a common request among our customers. Check out my reply to Shani2 on the same topic.

Hey Jon,

@wixyFun asked the following in our forums:

 

Hi, 

I have some issues with Catalog and inclusion rules comparisons in adobe target recommendations. 

I am trying to use " is less than or equal to" to compare same entity attribute values that are numeric and it looks like adobe thinks of the attribute values as strings , so only when using "equals" I get a correct entity match.

For example, entity.hoursSinceUpdate = 358 is returned when searching/filtering for hoursSinceUpdate is less than or equal to 72

What could be causing this issue? 

Should I delete entities from the catalog or try updating them instead? 

Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you

Hello @wixyFun,

 

Thank you for your question. You are correct in that the "is less than or equal to" operator is looking for a numeric value. However, when you create a custom entity.attribute, the default data type is string. If you reach out to customer care, they can submit a ticket to convert the field type to a numeric field so that the evaluation will work as intended. I will make sure we add this information to our documentation as well.

@Jon_Tehero do you have any tips for scaling the testing amount within a SPA (single-page application)?

Hi @Jon_Tehero! Thank you for your time today

@Mau_Gloria posted this question in the Community: 

Hi, Im trying to set a recommendations module on a page but these are not pushed to the webpage. The only way to see them is by using the "Preview" link included in Adobe Target, which is pulling 3 different offers along with their URLs. Feeds are working fine (scheduled every day in the morning) and in the overview screen of the activity I saw "Results ready" with green indicator.

- I tried QA link, nothing.

- I tried visiting the page, nothing.

I concur with what @karandhawan said and would recommend using the "?content-trace=true" option as well.

 

A couple of additional tips:

  1. depending on the type of algorithm, it may require a "key" (which is the entity or category that you are basing the recommendations on. example: for "people who viewed this also viewed these..." the "this" represents the key).
  2. When entities are brand new or when an algorithm first runs, as recommendations are requested, we push the results of the algorithm and the details of the entity to our edges. Sometimes you may need to refresh a couple of times to allow the results to fully propagate to the edge. This is generally something that is only really felt while QA'ing the activity and is limited at most to the first couple of views of an entity.

One more question from our forums, Jon from @btorres76

With multiple activities on a page, is there a way for one activity to disable certain modifications from other activities?

For example I have this use case:

Activity 1: Updates elem1, elem2, elem3

Activity 2: Updates elem2, elem3, elem4

 

Is there a way for another activity (Activity 3) to disable:

Activity 1: disable update on elem3

Activity 2: disable update on elem2

@btorres76 , 

 

There are different ways to achieve this. One way is to add more restricting conditions in activity 1&2 to that make sure the visitor is NOT in activity 3. You can add targeting conditions to determine if someone is in another test or even target based on specific activity membership using the built-in attribute: "user.activeActivities"
