Managing Recommendations for Mobile Apps

Creating Recommendations for Mobile Apps

A recommendation created for the website can't be reused in an app: create a separate recommendation for the app, with the same algorithm.

To create a recommendation:

1. Go to Site → Recommendations and click the New recommendation button.

2. At the Getting recommendation step, select Product data for API usage with Mobile applications.

3. At the Data source step, select a data source from the list, scroll down and click Next.

4. Enter the recommendation name and description in the corresponding fields and click Done.

The created recommendations show in the list of your recommendations. They are marked with a green SDK icon beside the recommendation name.

To see only the recommendations for the mobile application, select Mobile application in the left-hand side menu.

The page type of the created recommendation is Any page. Select Any page in the left-hand side menu to filter the recommendations in your list to show those, which are displayed on any page.
