Hi,

On a DW9-solution, we use different assortments related to usergroups.

Now we have received a request, to only show a specific produkt to a specific user, but not to the usergroup she is a member of.

My first thought was to make a new assortment only for her, which would be a copy of the assortment for the current usergroup plus the specific product. Afterwards I would remove her from the current usergroup, before adding her to this new assortment.

How do I remove the product in question from the usergroups assortment, to prevent the other users to see it and order it? If I remove it manually from the assortment, it would be included again, when the assortment is rebuild (every day)?

Hi Kurt

When you create an assortment, you create a list of product groups and products that are part of that assortment. So you just make sure the product is not part of the assortment that are tied to the usergroup, but only the assortment she is user of.

You can also create 2 assortments, and in assortment 2, you only have 1 product and this one user - and she is still member of the other assortment. Then she should get the products from both assortments.

Hi Nicolai,

Just to make sure I understand you correctly, if I have to make sure the product is not a part of the assortment, I have to add every product to the assortment tied to the usergroup, except the specific product? This means that I cannot use the functionality to add a whole productgroup?

Sometimes I would be nice to be able to make exceptions, when adding a whole productgroup, to prevent adding new products to the assortment tied to the usergroup, when new products are created in Ecommerce.

So you have a group of 3 products, and create 2 assortments. One assortment includes the entire group and one includes the group but has an exception of 1 product?

Hi Kurt,

 

For a customer that needed something like this, we created a custom product field called "Proprietary Code", and assigned the UserID (or CustomerNumber) to it. Then in the Query we showed all products where the Proprietary Code was empty (meaning public) or where the "Proprietary Code" was Equal to the Customer Number.

 

That prevented us from creating assortments for each user. Maybe it can work for you too.

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar
