This\u00a0enables\u00a0powerful\u00a0visual\u00a0curation\u00a0of\u00a0product\u00a0listing\u00a0pages:<\/p>

On top of ranges, we are also bringing advanced conditions to flexibly define items for slotting. You can now combine multiple attribute conditions with AND\/OR logic, having precise control over which products should fill a range of positions \u2014 without manually picking items one by one.<\/p>
Ranged Slotting works across Search, Browse, Collections, and Campaigns, so you can maintain a consistent page structure anywhere your shoppers discover products.<\/p>
What's\u00a0New<\/strong><\/p>
- Position\u00a0ranges:<\/strong> Define ranges, such as positions 1\u201320, instead of individual positions, with up to 50 positions per one rule and 250 positions per page in total<\/li>
- Advanced\u00a0conditions:<\/strong> Use AND\/OR filter expressions to precisely target item groups<\/li>
- AI\u00a0ranking\u00a0within\u00a0ranges:<\/strong> Constructor's algorithms use ranking score to select the most attractive, personalized items defined by attribute-based conditions<\/li>
- Graceful\u00a0partial\u00a0fill:<\/strong> If there are fewer items that match conditions than positions in the range (e.g., 15 blue items for a 20-position range), the matching items fill from the top and the remaining positions are filled automatically based on Constructor's AI ranking<\/li><\/ul>
How\u00a0to\u00a0Get\u00a0Started<\/strong><\/p>
We will gradually release the new rule over the coming weeks. Please, reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you would like to ger early access.<\/p>
Once the feature is enabled, navigate to Searchandizing and create a new Ranged Slotting rule. You will see the new range selection and advanced condition builder in the rule configuration panel.\u00a0<\/p>
