Dashboard Improvements

• Dashboard homepage update We've updated our dashboard homepage to reflect usage and interaction data for the 5 products we currently offer: Search, Autosuggest, Browse, Recommendations and Collections. We have a lot more planned for analytics, but for now wanted to ensure we provide a good overview of customers' usage of our various product experiences.
  
  
  
• Allow configuration of items per row Searchandizing and interact now allow configuration of the number of items displayed in a row on the dashboard, improving usability for customers with 4- or 5-up product listings. This lets customers match their web or app display in the dashboard and makes live easier by viewing a larger set of products at once.
  
  
  
• Product data sidebar We updated the product data modal in interact with a more complete overview of the information available for a product to simplify troubleshooting. The sidebar view also includes the full JSON return for product and variation data as well as an easy copy functionality, meaning you no longer need to root around in the network tab to see what data we returned in our search or browse API response about a product. Currently in interact, look for this sidebar to make its way throughout the app.
  

Recommendations Improvements

• Recommendations Analytics We recently recommendations analytics! We're now communicating the sessions that viewed recommendations, the total recommendations impressions as well as recommendation clicks. We also dive into in-depth recommendation pod analytics (the a pod is a placement where recommendations are served) and show the top items exposed by recommendations. You can see your analytics here.
  
  
  
• Recommendations Configuration Recommendations have typically been configured in concert with the Constructor customer success team, but we now allow basic configuration of adding new pods and updating strategies. Look for merchandizing capabilities in the future. See your configuration page here.
  
  
  
• Recommendations preview URLs Previewing a particular recommendation pod now updates the URL, allowing you to share a particular recommendation by copying the URL.

Fixes

• Added additional messages to cover catalog ingestion error cases.
• Added a clearer message when catalog ingestions trigger a failsafe.
• Catch several additional classes of catalog upload errors to provide more helpful error messages.
• Fixed an issue that caused collection update requests to return an error in certain cases.
• URLs in interact now include toggle state and other interface elements so sharing URLs takes you to the exact place you were at.
