Unbxd-defined: Also known as a Starter Pack, these are a default list of custom algorithms pre-defined by Unbxd. You cannot edit or delete them. You can, however, duplicate them. For the full list of Unbxd-defined custom algorithms and its fallbacks, click here.
User-defined: List of custom algorithms you’ve created. You can edit, delete, and duplicate user-defined algorithms.

#	UI Component	Description

The options available are: Recommended For You Top Sellers Bought Also Bought Viewed Also Viewed More Like This Recently Viewed Complete The Look Cross-Sell Category Top Sellers Brand Top Sellers To create a hybrid algorithm, click Create Hybrid.
2	Observation Period	Allows you to indicate the specify the time duration considered by the algorithm to produce the results.
3	Custom Filter Rules	Allows you to set specific filters to refine products that will be displayed within the widget. You can create 2 types of filters: Dynamic: When the value of the filter is dependant on the anchor product. Static: When the value of the filter is independent of the anchor product.
4	Location	When enabled, the recommendations generated by the algorithm are at the city-level.
5	Fallback	Allows you to choose the alternate algorithm which is used to generate results. Fallback: Indicates the fallback is based on the algorithm you chose in the Create an algorithm based on field. You can specify the base algorithm you want to use and the number of slots for the widget. Manual Fallback: Indicates the fallback is manual with a static list of products to display. Note: By default, Fallback is enabled. When fallback is disabled, widgets will not display any product recommendations.

NOTE: You cannot edit or modify an Unbxd-defined custom algorithm.

Create

To create a custom algorithm:

Click Manage > Algorithms.
On the Manage Algorithms page, click Custom.
Click the Create New button. The Create Custom Algorithm page appears.
Type in a name for the algorithm in the title text field.
Click the Create an algorithm based on a drop-down box and select the required algorithm.
To choose the number of slots you want to apply the algorithm on, click the Slots drop-down arrow. By default, the algorithm is applied to all 18 slots.
To create filter rules, click Add within Custom Filter Rules. You can create Dynamic or Static filters.
To enable fallbacks, click the Fallback toggle button. You can choose between:
1. Fallback: Indicates the fallback is based on the algorithm you chose in the Create an algorithm based on field. You can specify the base algorithm you want to use and the number of slots for the widget. To add fallbacks, click Add.
2. Manual Fallback: Indicates the fallback is manual with a static list of products to display.
  Note: By default, Fallback is enabled. When fallback is disabled, widgets will not display any product recommendations.
Click the Save button. The new custom algorithm will appear in the Manage Algorithms table.

You have successfully created a custom algorithm.

Preview

Unbxd allows you to preview the products being recommended for the selected algorithm.

Specific widgets will require specific information to display recommendation previews.

To preview:

Click Manage > Algorithms.
On the Manage Algorithms page, click Custom.
Click the drop-down arrow for the required user-defined algorithm within the Manage Algorithms table.
Click Preview. The Preview Algorithm page appears.
Depending on the widget, type the User ID, Product ID, or Category ID to view product recommendations.
Click Preview. To exit, click the X.

The preview gives you a visual snapshot of the algorithm.

Edit

Unbxd allows you to edit and modify user-defined custom algorithms.

Click Manage > Algorithms.
On the Manage Algorithms page, click Custom.
Click the drop-down arrow for the required user-defined algorithm within the Manage Algorithms table.
Click Edit. The Create Custom Algorithm page appears.
To edit the title of the algorithm, type in a name in the title text field.
To edit the algorithm, click the Create an algorithm based on the drop-down box and select the required algorithm.
To create a hybrid, click Create Hybrid. To know how to create a hybrid algorithm, click here.
To choose the number of slots you want to apply the algorithm on, click the Slots drop-down arrow. By default, the algorithm is applied to all 18 slots.
To enable fallbacks, click the Fallback toggle button. You can choose between:
1. Fallback: Indicates the fallback is based on the algorithm you chose in the Create an algorithm based on field. You can specify the base algorithm you want to use and the number of slots for the widget. To add fallbacks, click Add.
2. Manual Fallback: Indicates the fallback is manual with a static list of products to display.
  Note: By default, Fallback is enabled. When fallback is disabled, widgets will not display any product recommendations.
Click the Save button.

You have successfully edited your custom algorithm.

Delete

You can delete user-defined custom algorithms.

ALERT: Algorithms once deleted cannot be retrieved.

To delete:

Click Manage > Algorithms.
On the Manage Algorithms page, click Custom.
Click the drop-down arrow for the required user-defined algorithm within the Manage Algorithms table.
Click Delete.
Click Yes, Delete.

You have successfully deleted your custom algorithm.

Duplicate

You can duplicate both Unbxd-defined and user-defined custom algorithms.

To duplicate:

Click Manage > Algorithms.
On the Manage Algorithms page, click Custom.
Click the drop-down arrow for the required custom algorithm within the Manage Algorithms table.
Click Duplicate. The Create Custom Algorithm page appears.
To edit the title of the algorithm, type in a name in the title text field.
To edit the algorithm, click the Create an algorithm based on the drop-down box and select the required algorithm.
To create a hybrid, click Create Hybrid. To know how to create a hybrid algorithm, click here.
To choose the number of slots you want to apply the algorithm on, click the Slots drop-down arrow. By default, the algorithm is applied to all 18 slots.
To enable fallbacks, click the Fallback toggle button. You can choose between:
1. Fallback: Indicates the fallback is based on the algorithm you chose in the Create an algorithm based on field. You can specify the base algorithm you want to use and the number of slots for the widget. To add fallbacks, click Add.
2. Manual Fallback: Indicates the fallback is manual with a static list of products to display.
  Note: By default, Fallback is enabled. When fallback is disabled, widgets will not display any product recommendations.
Click the Save button.
