# Matrix

## **Summary**

The Matrix section is located in a separate tab of the Recommendations Basic Settings block. It provides an interface to selectively adjust the relationships between various categories (or other content stored in the matrices).

The relationships between categories on a level are displayed in an interactive matrix view.

If there is more than one matrix, these can be selected from **a dropdown menu** ![](https://883583471-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FTV1CIVFU3DJKhWzkqLAG%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d6ef73369d8b6bd3c60991407ff7a93dc15afc93%2FB1-2025x25.png?alt=media) at the top of the page. To make changes to a matrix' field weight, go to matrix settings.

A matrix now displays all rows and columns on one page. Scroll through the matrix to find an intersection. You can limit clutter by **choosing the number of displayed lines** (maximum 100) ![](https://883583471-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FTV1CIVFU3DJKhWzkqLAG%2Fuploads%2FLjkfXC9jxRqzliVIchKR%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=5807dd33-1450-4bf3-9e85-307328270568).<br>

Row and column labels stay visible while you scroll. Hover over a cell to trace its row and column. An overlay highlights the corresponding labels.

Use the new search inputs above the matrix to narrow the view to a smaller subset:

* **Search rows** filters by row name or names.
* **Search columns** filters by column name or names.

Lines and columns are sorted alphabetically.

## **Relationship matrix**

**Relationships** between categories are displayed in red or green ![](https://883583471-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FTV1CIVFU3DJKhWzkqLAG%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d744db53a7fe2e10bd9c7fe0f3f5963ac5f7e742%2FB3-2025x25.png?alt=media).

The redder the cell is, the less compatible the categories are. Products in those categories are recommended together less frequently or not at all.

The greener the relationship, the more compatible the categories are.

To change a relationship, click on it and adjust the slider in the pop-up.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/docs/basic-settings/recommendations/matrix.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
