Popular products

To decide what products are popular there is a worker setup that behind the scenes keeps an eye on how many times a product is sold (sold count as opposed to qty sold), within the latest 3 months.

The calculated popularity is not visible on the product in PIM and can therefor not visually be verified.

This popularity field in PIM can be manually overwritten by entering a numeric value, that will influence result in lists and sorting by popularity. If you wish to lower the popularity rate on a specific product, enter a low value, or enter a high value for products you wish to appear as top of popular product. Products with a manually entered value will then not be influenced by the calculation of the worker.

This manual overwrite is performed in PIM on product details, field "Popularity".
