# 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** ![](/files/Ph63z0daepEWYQihI5Tp) at the top of the page. To make changes to a matrix' field weight, go to matrix settings.

A large number of category names on a level makes the page very large and overly complex. You can limit clutter by **choosing the number of displayed lines** (maximum 100) ![](/files/Ehk1tMw4qBIWvCgJj7rh). Lines and columns are sorted alphabetically.

## **Relationship matrix**

**Relationships** between categories are displayed in red or green ![](/files/UipZ5ADW4CYdVObCmdDS).

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.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
