Feature Summary

Column Definitions:

Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.

UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.

UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.


Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

Ready for Use by End Users
(Feature Delivered Enabled)

Reports plus Small Scale UI or Process-Based new features will have minimal user impact after an update. Therefore, customer acceptance testing should focus on the Larger Scale UI or Process-Based* new features.

Customer Must Take Action before Use by End Users
(Feature Delivered Disabled)

Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing.

Summary of Ingested Data to Monitor Data Processing

Commerce

Oracle Adaptive Intelligent Apps for Customer Experience provides personalized, dynamic, and continuously adaptive offers across B2C commerce and marketing platforms. It delivers the product recommendations and promotions through commerce storefronts and marketing channels.

Email Strategies for Also Bought and Trending

Use the Also Bought strategy for email widgets where you want to display other products that consumers most often bought together with the product of interest. Use the Trending strategy for email widgets where you want to display other products that have a recent increase in popularity. Each of these strategies can improve the chances that the shopper receiving the email returns to your store and makes an additional purchase.

This screen capture shows the new list where you can select these strategies. To use the default personalization algorithms, select None (Default).

Email Widgets Page Showing Strategies

The Also Bought and Trending strategies for email widgets use simple algorithms with no personalization. If you want to use personalization along with a strategy, you can apply the strategy as a product filter with the default personalization. Applying a strategy returns personalized results filtered by the rules of the strategy.

To apply a strategy as a product filter, select None (Default) as the widget strategy, and then insert the product filter parameter in the code similar to these examples:

&pf=${"strategy": "alsoBought", "id:", "product-123"}

&pf=${"strategy": "trending", "minPrice:", 0.99, "minOrders": 4, "range": "WEEK"}

See Email Template Code for more information about URL parameters.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature, even if you already use email widgets. Any existing email widgets are already set as having no strategy, which is the default for using the personalization algorithms.

To use these new strategies, follow the steps in Configure Email Widgets.

Tips And Considerations

  • When you select a strategy, the code snippet that you copy updates to point to the appropriate REST API endpoint. For example, the default personalization algorithm uses the offers/widget/email/${SITE_ID} endpoint, whereas the Also Bought and Trending strategies use the offers/widget/email/${SITE_ID}/ab and offers/widget/email/${SITE_ID}/tr endpoints.
  • The pid URL parameter is applicable only to the Also Bought strategy to identify the product that the algorithm is based on.
  • If you’re using the REST API, refer to the Change History for this update to see the resources and methods added for this feature.
