Thank you for your feedback
In this article you will find actions that you can use to create fields on the result page. After configuration, the fields contain numerical values, calculation results and/or texts.
These are listed in the user interface of the rules under Select an action > Result field action.
In der Benutzeroberfläche der Rules sind diese unter Select an action > Result field action aufgelistet.
💡All actions in this article create a so-called global field. Global fields are not product-specific. This means that the contents of these fields do not vary depending on the product recommendation, but are standardized or global for all products.
💡Check out the related article to learn more about the principle of conditions and actions.
