# Available Condition Types #### **Constant adjustment** With constant adjustment, the content of the selected field is compared with a criterion. If this criterion is met, the data record receives the defined increase or decrease in value or can be completely excluded from the search result. In the following example, the manufacturers excluding Crocs is upgraded by -1%: ![](/files/UUZLjgrS2pqfSOEPNb8y) * Use the **Field selection** ![](/files/Ph63z0daepEWYQihI5Tp) to select the field from the data feed that contains the information to be used for the ranking. * The **Operator** ![](/files/Ehk1tMw4qBIWvCgJj7rh) defines the condition for the ranking. Different choices are available, depending on the field type (numeric or text field). * Clicking on the field **Value/Content** ![](/files/UipZ5ADW4CYdVObCmdDS) opens a dropdown that displays the first 2000 field contents of the selected field. This can be filtered by partially entering the content you are looking for. * The **Type of adjustment** ![](/files/2XF0kf1Bm7Z35I6UtFNL) field contains the selected condition type. * The **Effect** ![](/files/cVfuaDKK4FYgURysSN7J) indicates the degree of adjusting up (positive values) or down (negative values). The value entered here is added to or subtracted from the score calculated for the individual items and thus influences the sorting of the items in the search results. * To completely remove an item from the results, tick **Exclude product** ![](/files/dOZlcoZrhcFshT4JyY3F) and leave the **Effect** ![](/files/cVfuaDKK4FYgURysSN7J) field empty. #### **Time adjustment** The time adjustment offers the possibility to revaluate or devaluate data records based on a date or time range. If you want to use this condition type, a corresponding **date field** (e.g. creation date) must exist in your data. FactFinder checks the current date during import and calculates the difference. To edit the configuration, you must first click on the **Edit** button, which appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the entry: ![](/files/AHSKxs2VtQrnsnwPcymQ) In the following example, new products (max. 1 month old) are revalued by 1 % and older products (older than 3 months) are devalued by 5%: ![](/files/52Gxoc2lCvmVoIQeekcm) * The **Type of adjustment** ![](/files/Ph63z0daepEWYQihI5Tp) field contains the selected condition type. * Use the **Field selection** ![](/files/Ehk1tMw4qBIWvCgJj7rh) to select the field from the data feed that contains the information to be used for ranking. * Under **Time periods** ![](/files/UipZ5ADW4CYdVObCmdDS) you can define the up- or down-ranking for any number of periods in the past. The starting point is always today. * You can define any intervals via the selection options **Amount** and **Time period** (day, week, month, year). * Via **Adjustment** you define the revaluation (positive values) or devaluation (negative values). The value entered here is added to or subtracted from the score calculated for the individual items and thus influences the sorting of the items in the search result. * The **Preview** ![](/files/2XF0kf1Bm7Z35I6UtFNL) shows a graphic overview of the effect of the set values. > By defining several time ranges, you can also define an exponential revaluation or devaluation rule. In the same way, you can realize steps over changing time periods: 1-13 days with 0.01 % devaluation, 14 days 1 % devaluation. Then nothing happens for 13 days, after which it goes down significantly. #### **Value adjustment** The value adjustment is especially intended for numerical fields and offers the possibility to define a linear, logarithmic or stepwise gradation of the adjustment. To edit the configuration, first click on the **Edit** button, which appears when the mouse pointer is over the entry (see → [Time adjustment](#time-adjustment)). In the following example, products with higher ratings (rating: 1-5 stars) has decreased value by up to 1%: ![](/files/TjLD0ltXWHSNjN6sejWC) * The **Type of adjustment** ![](/files/Ph63z0daepEWYQihI5Tp) field contains the selected condition type. * Use the **Field selection** ![](/files/Ehk1tMw4qBIWvCgJj7rh) to select the field from the data feed that contains the information to be used for ranking. * The **Mode of adjustment** ![](/files/UipZ5ADW4CYdVObCmdDS) determines whether the gradation should be linear, logarithmic or stepwise. * The **Top value** ![](/files/2XF0kf1Bm7Z35I6UtFNL) and **Worst value** ![](/files/cVfuaDKK4FYgURysSN7J) define the range in which the condition should take effect. The choice of values depends on the value range of the field and the goal of the ranking. * The **Adjustment** ![](/files/dOZlcoZrhcFshT4JyY3F) specifies the degree of upgrading (positive values) or downgrading (negative values). The value entered here is added to or subtracted from the score calculated for the individual items and thus influences the sorting of the items in the search result. * The **Preview** ![](/files/afMFqoHYxlD3P4x4s54e) shows a graphic overview of the effect of the set parameters. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
