Assign multiple roles to Constructor users

We are excited to release a mighty enhancement to the Customizable User Roles feature: you can now assign multiple roles to a single user directly from the dashboard. This simplifies permission management and scaling your team's access with enterprise-grade flexibility.

The Challenge: Scaling Role Management

Since launching Customizable User Roles, we've heard feedback from large teams managing numerous brands, regions, or environments. A common challenge was managing users who needed combined permissions.

For example, to grant a developer access to both the EMEA and NA indexes, you had to create a specific "Dev EMEA + NA" role. For complex teams, this led to a long, hard-to-maintain list of "combination" roles (e.g., "Merchandiser US+EU", "Merchandiser B2B+B2C").

The Solution: Multiple Roles for Simple, Granular Control

With this update, you can now assign the existing "Dev EMEA" role and the "Dev NA" role to the same user. This approach provides powerful benefits:

  • Reduce Admin Overhead: You don't need to create and manage dozens of redundant "combination" roles. Simply assign the building blocks you've already created.
  • Scale with Flexibility: Easily manage permissions as your team grows and responsibilities change. Need to give a B2C merchandiser temporary access to the B2B site? Just add the "B2B Merchandiser" role and remove it when the project is done.
  • Smart, Additive Permissions: Access is combined in the most permissive way. If one role grants View access and another grants Edit access for the same feature, the user will automatically get Edit access.

How to Get Started

Users with the Manage users permission can select and assign multiple roles to a single user directly from the dashboard. Navigate to the User Management page by clicking on your name in the bottom left corner, and then, Team Members. Click on the current role assigned to a user and select multiple roles in the dropdown.

If you have any questions or feedback on the update or the Constructor dashboard in general, please connect with your Customer Success Manager or contact us through support@constructor.io.

Segmented Searchandising: Personalize rules for any audience

What's new

You can now target customer-defined user segments across most searchandising rules—not just Boost & Bury. That means you can adjust ranking, recall, content, and slotting for specific audiences (e.g., "US App Users", "Loyalty Tier Gold", "Clicked Meta Ad A") without rebuilding pages or bluntly applying rules to everyone.

You can now

  • Apply segments to key rules and surfaces
    • Boost & Bury — Search, Browse, Campaigns, Recommendations, Global
    • Item Slotting (incl. CSV & faceted browse) — Search, Browse, Campaigns, Recommendations
    • Attribute-based Slotting — Search, Browse, Campaigns, Recommendations
    • Allowlist / Blocklist — Search, Browse, Campaigns, Recommendations (Blocklist also on Global)
    • Content Rules — Search, Browse, Campaigns
  • Preview as a segment when creating Campaigns: Impersonate a selected segment to see exactly what that audience will experience before you ship.

Why it matters

Previously, segments were available for Boost & Bury only. Teams either ignored insights or applied broad rules to all shoppers, diluting performance. With segments available across your core rule types, you can:

  • Tune the same PLP differently per audience (locale, device, lifecycle stage).
  • Move faster from marketing signal to on-site personalisation without duplicating pages.
  • Protect performance by narrowing rules to only the shoppers they're meant for.

Example workflows

  • Campaign continuity: For users who clicked a specific ad or email, slot the exact products that match the message they saw, right on arrival.
  • Locale nuance: Slot a colorway or size range for only a particular country/segment without touching other markets.
  • Compliance fast-track: Blocklist prohibited items for a single region while keeping them live elsewhere.
  • Channel-aware content: Show different banners/copy to app users vs web visitors on the same PLP.

Who benefits

  • Merchandisers partnering with Marketing: align landing experiences to campaign promises.
  • Region/brand owners: tailor assortment and messaging by locale without forking your catalog.
  • Compliance & ops teams: react quickly to region-specific restrictions.

Coming soon

  • AI-generated segments
  • Segments in Content Rules (Global)
  • Segments in Variation Slicing
  • Impersonation for Search, Browse, and Global

Collections, Supercharged: One-click Item ID export, inline edits, and copy across indexes

What’s new

We’ve supercharged Collections so merchandisers can build, reuse, and refine PLPs with fewer clicks.

You can now

  • Export item IDs to CSV from a Collection in one click—for analysis or to seed a new Collection.
  • Add, edit, and remove item IDs inline in the Collections UI—no extra CSV wrangling required.
  • Copy a Collection across indexes or within the same index—reuse successful setups with minor tweaks.

Why it matters

Previously, small changes took a big effort—exporting item IDs required workarounds, editing meant creating and re-uploading CSVs, and reusing a Collection often meant rebuilding from scratch.

Now you can:

  • Move faster from idea to live PLP.
  • Keep Collections fresh with quick, precise Item ID updates.
  • Replicate proven merchandising strategies across storefronts without busywork.

Example workflows

  • Re-launch a winning PLP in a new market: Copy the Collection to another index, adjust a few IDs inline, and publish.
  • Clear handoff material: Provide item ID CSVs for cross-team reviews, ensuring everyone’s working from the same list.
  • Tweak on the fly: Paste a handful of new item IDs straight from a spreadsheet and remove outdated ones in seconds.

Fine-Tune Your Product Variations with New Slicing Conditions

What’s new:

We’ve upgraded Variation Slicing to give merchandisers more precision than ever.

With the new Variation Slicing Conditions, you can choose exactly which product variations to surface — without slicing all possible variants for every item.

You can now:

  • Highlight only the variations you want — e.g., new styles, sale items, or seasonal colors.
  • Filter variations with powerful conditions such as Item ID, color, size, or other attributes.
  • Mix and match conditions to target exactly the right subset of product variations.
  • Visually merchandise your PLPs by promoting only the variations that matter for your campaign.
  • Use a drag-and-drop preview to instantly tailor the shopper experience.

Why it matters:

Before, merchandisers had to make a tough choice:

  • Slice all variations for an attribute (risking cluttered or irrelevant product listings), or
  • Avoid variation slicing altogether — missing opportunities to spotlight specific variations.

Now, you can surgically control variation visibility to align perfectly with your strategy.

 For example:

  • Launch a PLP for Valentine’s Day featuring only red dresses.
  • Promote only the 12-pack size of a soft drink that’s on sale.
  • Push new color drops for a top-selling shoe to the top of the page.

This means more relevant merchandising, more engaging shopping experiences, and more revenue potential — without sacrificing the integrity of your PLP layout.

Track Analytics Across Multiple Indexes

At Constructor, we recognise the importance of data to inform merchandising decisions and track business performance, and we continue to enhance analytics capabilities, so that find the right would become more intuitive without leaving the dashboard. That's why we are excited to introduce grouping analytics by index. 

What’s new

You can now select more than one index in the dashboard’s analytics view to see combined performance metrics. This could be especially helpful in cases like:

  • Analysing a specific region, where each index could represent a specific country (e.g., exploring performance of all indexes from EMEA)
  • Getting insights on specific languages for the same regional market (e.g., Germany–German and Germany–English)
  • Any custom grouping based on your operational structure, warehouses or team ownership

Multi-index support is available in various sections within Analytics, namely:

  • Homepage
  • Search
  • Browse
  • Recommendations
  • Opportunities
  • Item Analytics

Note: exporting for multi-index analytics will be supported separately in upcoming releases.

Why it matters

Previously, you could either:

  • View analytics for all indexes combined, or
  • Drill into a single index at a time

With this update, we’ve made it easier for merchandisers to analyse performance across multiple indexes at once — no more exporting and stitching reports together manually. That means less extra work for teams needing to analyse subsets of indexes. Now, you can group just the indexes you care about and instantly see combined insights, making reporting faster and decision‑making more precise.

One Campaign. Every Country. Effortless Searchandizing Across Indexes.

What’s new:

We’ve upgraded Searchandizing Campaigns to work across multiple indexes — so you can manage cross-country and cross-environment merchandising in one place.

Now you can:

  • Create once, publish everywhere — apply a single set of searchandizing rules to multiple countries, languages, or environments at the same time.
  • Save hours by skipping manual copy-paste between indexes.
  • Keep campaigns consistent across global markets or between dev/prod environments.
  • Easily scale your strategy for regional launches, seasonal campaigns, or cross-country promotions.
  • Validate faster — see the end-to-end shopper experience across all markets in just a few clicks.

Why it matters:

Before, cross-country merchandising was a time-consuming, error-prone process:

  • Merchandisers had to duplicate configurations for each index manually.
  • Testing and validation meant jumping between indexes one by one.
  • Rule conflicts often appeared during copying — slowing launches.
  • Keeping strategies aligned globally was tricky and sometimes led to outdated or inconsistent shopper experiences.

Now, Cross-index Searchandizing Campaigns make it possible to:

  • Launch a new product or marketing push across all markets instantly.
  • Keep branding and merchandising strategies consistent worldwide.
  • Respond to market changes or promotions at global speed.

Whether you’re boosting new arrivals in all EMEA markets, aligning a seasonal campaign across APAC and North America, or syncing dev and production environments, you can now do it all from one campaign.

Searchandising Campaigns: One Strategy for multiple pages

What’s new?

With Searchandising Campaigns, merchandisers can now define a single strategy and deploy it across multiple search, category, and facet contexts without creating individual rules for each one. This new feature makes it simple to:

  • Group together related queries, category pages, and facet pages into one cohesive campaign.
  • Create boost, bury, and slotting rules that apply to all selected contexts at once.
  • Save time with bulk actions like Select all and Show subcategories to include every relevant touchpoint with just a few clicks.

Why it matters:

Managing promotional strategies across fragmented contexts used to be time-consuming and error-prone. Searchandising Campaigns fix that by:

  • Allowing merchandisers to align their strategy across the entire site so a summer polo shirt promotion appears everywhere from “men’s shirts” to “brand=Ralph Lauren.”
  • Reducing repetitive work with intuitive controls like context editing and dynamic subcategory visibility.
  • Ensuring better control and consistency with centralised rule management and in-context previews of how changes impact shopper experiences.

Now, whether you’re spotlighting a new product launch or fine-tuning category-specific performance, you can do it all in one place, with precision, scale, and speed.

Redirect Page Revamped

Redirects page lists all the redirects that have been created and allows users to create more redirects or manage existing redirect pages. With this update the redirects page have revamped to the newest design standards, adding the emails of the users who last made a change to a redirect and by default, lists all redirects instead of just current redirects (currently do not show upcoming or expired redirects by default).

Increased strength & flexibility for Boost & Bury rules

What’s new?

We’ve supercharged the strength and flexibility of our Boost & Bury rules, giving you 10x more control over how products are ranked in search and browse experiences. With this update, you can now:

  • Create precise Boost & Bury rules using a percentage-based strength selector (from 5% to 100%).
  • Use a convenient slider or hotkeys for quick adjustments: Weak (3%), Moderate (7%), Strong (10%), and 3xStrong (Rocket button 🚀).
  • Apply these rules across various use cases, from single queries to global campaigns, including Search, Autosuggest, Browse Categories, Facet Pages, Collections and Recommendations.

Why it matters:

This update gives merchandisers unparalleled control over product visibility to align with business goals. Whether you’re showcasing new arrivals, promoting sale items, or managing inventory strategically, you can now achieve nuanced ranking adjustments with fewer rules. By eliminating the need to stack multiple identical rules, this enhancement saves time and ensures more precise outcomes for complex merchandising strategies.

Feature Update: Enhanced Attribute-Based Slotting Rules

What's New?

Merchandisers can now combine Attribute-Based Slotting (ABS) with Variation Slicing (VS) in Search and Browse contexts. Previously, these two tools couldn’t be used together. Now, they’re a powerful, united tool for presenting products exactly as you envision.

Who Benefits?

This update is designed for merchandisers aiming to highlight product variations while leveraging AI to boost the prominence of specific items in campaigns or promotions.

Use Case Example:

Imagine you’re launching an apparel collection with multiple color options. With this update, you can use Variation Slicing to highlight all color variations, while Attribute-Based Slotting allows you to pin specific colors, such as blue, at the top for extra visibility during a promotional campaign.

What’s the Advantage?

With ABS and VS now working together, you have more flexibility to showcase the variety in your catalog, control the order of displayed items, and ensure customers see the most relevant items first—all without sacrificing the AI-driven placement that maximizes sales potential.


If you have any questions or feedback on the updated feature, please connect with your Customer Success Manager or contact us through support@constructor.io.
