FACT-Finder Channels

Channels are separate instances within FACT-Finder, which each can be configured individually.

  • The channel is an isolated unit which manages product data: You can define data sources, rules, data targets and planned tasks. You can set up multiple channels, to subdivide your stock (e.g. by store, language, etc.).
  • You can set up separate channels for different shop interfaces (B2B and B2C or desktop and mobile), or to present your shop in multiple languages.
  • Each channel can be based on an individual data feed, but you can also use the same feed for multiple channels, each using different configurations (Suggest, Filter, Ranking).
  • Channels can be hereditary: Using the Multi-Channel Functionality, you can set channels as "parent" and "child" channels. Parent channels pass on their settings to child channels, but you can still make exceptions to that rule.
