Set Locations for the Rule from the Merchandising Studio

    After you have added a User location trigger to your rule, you need to configure it. You can set multiple locations, you can choose to run the rule on a category page or for a certain navigation path, or you can assign locations for which the rule should never run.

    Quick reference

    The following table lists the available user location trigger settings.

    Table 1: User location settings

    Option Description Use for
    contains The rule triggers for all locations and navigation paths that contain the ID* of the current location. Use this setting to run rules for a chosen facet selection or a chosen category and any subcategories under it, regardless of navigation path.
    ends with The rule triggers for all navigation paths that end with the ID* of the current location. Use this setting to run rules on a chosen category page or facet selection only, regardless of the navigation path.
    equals The rule triggers only for the specified complete navigation path. Use this setting to run rules on a chosen page, after a specific navigation path.
    starts with The rule triggers for all navigation paths that begin with the ID* of the current location. Use this setting to run rules for a chosen facet selection or a chosen category and any subcategories under it, if the location was reached through a specific navigation path.

    * Every category, facet, and other attribute used for navigation purposes has an ID that lets FHR uses to recognize it and the various navigation paths to it uniquely. As a result, the following navigation paths are considered to be different although they might list identical content: Home > Women's > Shoes > Size 37 and Home > Shoes > Women's > Size 37.
