Improvements & Resolved Issues

Merchandising Studio & Preview Pages

[Fixed] Merchandising Studio now does not alter the entities’ initial "create date”.

[Fixed] When a “datetime” attribute was used for sorting, this could result in an error. The problem has been fixed: sorting by the “datetime” attribute works as intended.

[Fixed] In Preview Pages, spaces in translated URLs made the URLs invalid. Spaces in translated URLs are now removed.

[Fixed] The "Today" button in the “datetime” trigger showed performance issues. The problem has been fixed.

[Fixed] Values within a facet could be interpreted incorrectly when triggering the "more" or "less" button. The problem has been fixed.
[Fixed] Saving changes on the "System defaults" page in Merchandising Studio could block incremental product data feeds, which prevented Fredhopper from updating. The problem has been fixed.

Visual Merchandising Interface

[Fixed] In certain cases, the Visual Merchandising screen could have sorting issues. The problem has been fixed. The correct sorting is applied now consistently.

[Fixed] In the Visual Merchandising item pop-up, values for ranking cocktails' attributes could be wrong. The problem has been fixed.

Search and Navigation

[Fixed] In certain situations, location triggers using a search location were processed incorrectly by search analyzers. The problem has been fixed.
