Trending recommendations lists

  • Article

Trending lists in Intelligent Recommendations enable browsing a content catalog using algorithmic charts sorted by information such as total sales, sum of clicks, release date, or a combination of different metrics. You can further scope trending lists to specific time windows and aggregations to surface the most popular or best-selling products to users. We currently support three base types of trending lists:

  • New
  • Trending
  • Popular

Trending lists provide the following capabilities:

  • Flexible filtering schema, so you can filter lists to specific categories or other metadata, focusing on items of interest

  • Personalization, so you can increase the item's relevance and supply a better match based on a user’s history or preferences

This article describes several trending lists scenarios you can use in Intelligent Recommendations. These scenarios are flexible, so you can modify them according to your business needs.
