UI Terminologies

Netcore Unbxd UI terminologies on the console page

In an ecommerce catalog, attributes are the characteristics or properties that describe a product. These attributes can be textual or numerical and help effectively organize, filter, and display products.

Parameter	Description
Attributes	Characteristics or properties that describe a product (e.g., Color, Price, Brand).
Values	Specific data points associated with an attribute (e.g., Color = Red, Price = 100, Brand = Nike).
Operators	Conditions used to create rules by comparing attributes and their values. This is applicable for Boost and Filter. Equals (=):The attribute value must exactly match the specified value. Example: Brand = Nike. Not Equals (≠):The attribute value must not exactly match the specified value. Example: Color ≠ Red. Contains (⊂):The attribute value must include the specified keyword or text. Example: Brand ⊂ "Nike". Does Not Contain (⊄): The attribute value must not contain the specified keyword or text. Example: Color ⊄ "Red". Greater than or Equal to (>=): The attribute value must be greater than or equal to the specified value. Example: "Price >= 100". Less than or Equal to (`<=`) : The attribute value must be less than or equal to the specified value. Example: "Rating `<=` 4".
Logical Operators	Logical operators are used to combine or modify conditions in queries. AND: All conditions must be true for the rule to apply. Example: Brand = Nike AND Color = Red. OR: At least one condition must be true for the rule to apply. Example: Brand = Nike OR Brand = Adidas. THEN: Defines the sequence of rules. The second rule will apply only if the first condition is met. Example: Sort by Price Ascending THEN Sort by Rating Descending.

Date Field as Merchandisable

You can now use date-type fields as merchandisable attributes to create powerful merchandising strategies in Search and Browse. This allows you to Boost, Sort, Slot, Filter, or Pin products based on essential dates like product creation, shipping deadlines, or delivery availability.

Supported Merchandising Strategies

When you mark a date field as Merchandisable, you can use it with:

Boost: Prioritize products added or shipped on specific dates.
Sort: Pre-sort results by a date field. For example, newest arrivals first.
Slot: Place products meeting date conditions at fixed positions.
Filter: Narrow results by date criteria. For example, items deliverable before a holiday.
Pin: Fix date-based products at the top. For example, upcoming launches
Freshness: Apply a decay-based boost for newly added products.

Parameter	Description
Operators	Greater than (`>`): The attribute must be later than the specified date. For example, createdAt `>` 27 January 2025 Less than (`<`): The attribute must be before the specified date. For example, deliveredBy `<` 10 September 2025 Less than or equal to (`<=`): The attribute must be on or before the specified date. For example, deliveredBy `<=` 03 July 2025 Greater than or equal to(`>=`): The attribute must be on or later than the specified date.
