FHR: How to change the order of attributes for different Fredhopper pages

This document will explain how the order of the attributes shown on the Fredhopper Preview pages can be customized.

Scenario

When navigating or searching through the Fredhopper Preview pages or clicking on a product to open the Detail page, a different list with attributes is shown for the different page types.

This list is based on the configuration done in the Display Fields in the System tab of the Merchandising Studio. 

The prerequisites for an attribute to be displayed are:

• to be enabled in the Navigation Index in the Merchandising Studio
• to be selected in the Display Fields in the Merchandising Studio

We would like the selected attributes to be reordered and the most relevant to be displayed on the top of the list for each product.

Steps

Depending on the page, you may want to have different attributes displayed and have a different order.

The order can be regulated in the Display Fields configuration by clicking on the "Lister", "Detail", "Compare" or "Campaigns" column to bring up a screen with all the selected fields.

For example, clicking on "Lister" gives the possibility to reorder the attributes for Navigation and Search pages:

The order of this list with attributes determines the order in which the selected attributes will be shown in the Navigation and Search Preview pages.

Please note that this configuration should be replicated from Preview to Live if you would like to have the same setup on both Fredhopper Preview pages. 

If not, the setup may differ depending on what needs to be shown on Preview or Live.
