Manage Recommender Configurations

Recommender settings configured in the PoolParty Recommender Workbench are only saved in the application’s memory for the duration of the current session. If you want to return to them after you log out or make them available to other Recommender Workbench users, you can save them into the application's database or export them for future import into this or another instance of the PoolParty Recommender Workbench. Saved settings can be later loaded from the application's database and further edited or deleted.

Save Recommender Settings as a Configuration

When you change recommender settings in the PoolParty Recommender Workbench, your changes are only saved in the application’s memory for the duration of the current session. They will be lost as soon as you refresh your browser or log out.

If you want to return to them after you log out or make them available to other Recommender Workbench users, you can record them into the application's database by saving them as a configuration.

You can also export the recommender settings for future import into this or another instance of the PoolParty Recommender Workbench.
