A client has asked if they can prioritise a certain product in their online catalogue so that it appears as the second product rather than the sixth or so. Is this possible?
This is all I can find in the help section, which points to a no answer.
Customizing how sub-catalogs list appears
{tag_cataloguelist,rowLength,targetFrame,notUsed,sortType,hideEmptyMessage,list/table}
rowLength Number of catalogs per
row targetFrame e.g. _blank.
Specify the frame you want the product
to open in resultsPerPage
Number of catalogs you wish to display
before the page paginates
notUsed this field is not currently
used. Leave empty. sortType
- Alphabetical
- Weight (Defaut) hideEmptyMessage if a catalog does not
have any sub-catalogs you will see a
message This catalog has no
sub-catalogs. You can hide it by
setting it to true.
Hopefully I'm just missing a really obvious control in the BC interface somewhere.
So that help documentation you've pulled up is regarding catalogs. If you want the catalogs to appear in a different order, use the "Weight" sortType in your tag_cataloguelist and assign weights to your catalogs when setting them up.
For individual products in the list view, assign a weight to each product under eCommerce > Products in the detailed product settings. You can also assign weights in bulk by downloading the entire product list then reimporting the product database.

I have a two dimensions with the following data set
Original Dimension
I would like to create two filters that can be used to filter my dashboard. These two filter would be called - "Product_Type" and "Product" and should have the following drop downs:
Filter Breakdown
To summarize, I am looking for a way to take my original dimension and create the filter breakdowns so that in my dashboard I can have two filter (Product_type and Product). When i click on the Product_type filter, i should be able to see "overall", "fruits", "vegetable" and "leafy. Based on my selection , the Product filter should automatically show only the relevant values - i.e. if i picked "leafy" it should only show "spinach" and "kale". Finally if i select "kale" my entire dashboard should change accordingly.
Looking for a way to do this without drastically affecting the performance.
update: i was able to achieve this by creating multiple parameters and then using the pop window technique (https://vimeo.com/107352893) - but this has affected my workbook performance very badly. Need another solution!!
You should be able to accomplish your desired functionality by creating a calculated field for product type and a CASE statement to classify the products based on the product type you specified your image.
Further, filters can be configured to display available values based on the other filters in place. I would recommend having your Product Type filter a the "context" or "data-source" level, and your product filter at the lowest level, so that the selectable options for the product filter can be displayed using the "only relevant Values" option and limits the products that can be chosen.
Please see the following link for some more information on filtering hierarchies

"Only relevant values - Specifies which values to show in the filter. When you select this option other filters are considered and only values that pass these filters are shown. For example, a filter on State will only show the Eastern states when a filter on Region is set. You can use the toggle at the top of the filter card to switch between this option and the All Values in Database option.
All values in database - Specifies which values to show in the filter. When you select this option all values in the database are shown regardless of the other filters on the view.
All values in context (Tableau Desktop only) - When one of the filters in the view is a context filter, select this option on a different filter to only display values that pass through the context filter. For more information, see Improve View Performance with Context Filters."
I want the salesrep to see both theirs and OVERALL TEAMS PERFORMANCE. Is it possible to create a TOGGLE SWITCH : ME/TEAM...when they click on ME - it shows them their revenue and when they click on TEAM - it show overall team revenue. But, they still shouldn't be able to see other salesman revenue...Thanks
Currently, I'm filtering their access to data by their USERNAME using the FULLNAME() function in Tableau. I'm wondering how would the salesrep be able to see the revenue of the TEAM OVERALL which helps them to compare their performance to the team overall
As far as I can tell, with your current setup, you will only be able to display the active sales reps data. This appears to be a requirement for data security. If you want reps to see the overall team data as well, I would create a second data source with aggregated team data, create a view based on this data and place both views side by side on a dashboard.
After that, you could build in the toggle functionality with parameter controls.
Create a parameter. Simple example would be a text input that accepts two values, ME or TEAM. For this example, let's call the parameter Parameter 1.
Set up a conditional calculated field to handle your data security. The condition is based on the parameter. For this example, let's call the calculated field What To Show.
Add a filter, preferably at the data source, for What To Show = True.
The code for What To Show is
if [Parameter 1] = "ME" then [USERNAME] = FULLNAME() END
[USERNAME] of course is whatever your security column is called.
What you are doing here is conditionally applying row-level security based on what parameter your user has selected.
I'm updating a data feed export, which links a Product to a given Category. I want to also include that product's merchandising position within that category, which currently exists in Business Manger, and is used to control sorting on Product listing pages:
I'm digging through the API docs, and the logical place for this information to be exposed in in dw.catalog.CategoryAssignment, but it's not there. I'm currently inferring the position by essentially doing this:
// assume var product, category
var position = category.products.firstIndex(p => p.ID == product.ID);
However, this tells me where the Product got sorted to, not what the actual Position value is within Demandware. It works for now as an expedient hack, but I really want to replace it with something that pulls the actual value from DW.
Where in the Commerce Cloud API can I find the merchandising position for a given Product in a given Category?
I think you would'nt get the actual position of the product index as you may have multiple sorting rules to display different outputs on the category listing pages. These sorting rules can be created as and when required based on certain rules. I don't think this can be reflected on the product feed.
It took some digging, but I managed to find that the "Position" field for Products in the BM is stored as Product.searchPlacement. To find it, you have to look in Category.products, find the Product you want, and grab the searchPlacement property of that product.
In effect, I used:
// assume var product, category
var position = category.products.find(p => p.ID == product.ID).searchPlacement;
For Products that don't have a Position assigned in the Business Manager, searchPlacement is 0. Otherwise, it reflects the value entered in the BM.
What do we have as of now? - We are using Mahout's GenericItemBasedRecommender to get a list of recommended products for a user using TanimotoCoefficientSimilarity as ItemSimilarity.
Where do we want to go from here? - The above works fine when we don't care about product category but what we want to know is the Product Category specific recommendations i.e. Say if a user has been buying, browsing, liking etc. specifically more in Men's and Gadgets category, I would then want to show this user recommendation in that specific category saying Recommended for you in [X] where X would be replaced by Mens or Gadgets in this case. We are thinking about a couple of options below to achieve this and we need some leads/opinion/feedback etc. so as to make sure we are going in the right direction. Options:
Firstly we'll have to move to a non-tanimoto version for calculating item similarity so that we account for users buying, liking, etc and not only view/browsing data.
Figuring out product category for a particular user (this is where we need direction) - Our product category hierarchy is basically a tree and we need to know which top 4 nodes (with best recommendations) in tree we would show to the user. Also if we are saying that node X is a category which we are showing to the user and node Y is a parent of node X we then don't want show user products in category Y or any parent for that matter. Couple of ways achieving this:
For every user calculate SUM of similarity scores values of items for a nodes at leaf level and recursively calculate for parent node till the root. Now at each node we have A = SUM of similarity scores & B = Number of Items Recommended so we also have A/B=Value (V) at each node. Now we pick the top 4 V values from the tree and recommend that to the user. The challenge here is that if we try to calculate this online during the request it we would tough to limit this under 150 ms for the entire request. An Example:
Root Level - Category12 (A=11, B=4) (category1 + category2)
|
_____________________|_________________________
/ \
/ \
Leaf Level - category1 (A=6, B=2) category2 (A=5, B=2)
Recommended products in Category 1: Item1 (score = 2), Item2 (score = 4)
Recommended products in Category 2: Item3 (score = 1), Item4 (score = 4)
Second option: For every category create a cluster of users based on their behaviour (likes, buying, viewing etc.) and then figure out the top 4 categories to which the user belongs. Not sure if we can achieve this using clustering in Mahout but I think we can do this offline.
Please provide your feedback/suggestions/leads/thoughts.
Thanks in advance!
If you want to model more than one thing in your data, I would suggest to use the SVD recommender instead with the ALSWR factorizer set to implicit feedback. With that done you can have user,item,preference in your data and the preference value would be how strongly associated your user is to the item. You can play with the numbers, for example a purchase is a 20 and a view is just a 2. I'm just throwing numbers here, I wouldn't know what will work best for your data, because you can also model things proportionally, as in if a purchase is 30 times less likely to happen than a view, then a purchase should be 30 times stronger than a view.
Mahout provides a way to influence the recommendations through the IDRescorer. You implement your own logic here and decide how to affect the recommendations. For example, the IDRescorer would check if a recommendation candidate belongs to the same category and if it does, boost the score by X. There's an example here (link) from the Mahout in Action Book (which you should definitely read), showing a rescorer.
Hope this helps
I need to do the stock management website with 2 Content type Supplier and Product. First I add contents in Supplier content type. Then I add node reference field in Product content type and call it supplier and make it multiple value. it's looks good, i can select suppliers and save it. but in my concept i need to check which supplier sale this product and how price. so i need to add suppliers and price in the same form like my image.
the propose of this form, user can check how price of each supplier for this product and they can choose the lowest price for purchase in the next process.
Guys, did you have the idea that i can do like this ?
Based on your image attached, I'd assume you have Druapl 7.
You can do this by installing Field Collection module. To get the table-input, install Field Collection Table.
Core Fields can have multiple instances of the same field. But you can't group them and make the whole group a multi-instance group.
Drupal 6 required CCK module to have fields, and there was a MultiGroup module (CCK 3branch which never had a stable release) that does the similar for Drupal 6.
Although OP will not need this, dear Googler if you are looking for a simple table with text fields, try TableField module
