Virtual Shelf- Findability setup

The video below will give you a quick overview of how this is setup, please read the detailed instructions on how this is done step by step

Open

When the client is setting up a findability, all you will need to do is add this variable to the liveplano link that CS supplies:

&findbarcode-q1=5&findbarcodetagtxt-q1=sometext

&findbarcode-q1=5

• In the above example the q1 refers to the qType name in the survey admin system, this is very important to get right, as there will be multiple qTye names in one link normally, so it is critical to specify this correctly.

• The =5 is the SKU/UPC product code that is used in the project, this is what product you want the respondent to find. This has to be correct as using an invalid number will break the flow

&findbarcodetagtxt-q1=sometext

• again, In the above example the q1 refers to the qType name in the survey admin system, this is very important to get right, as there will be multiple qTye names in one link normally, so it is critical to specify this correctly.

• The =sometext is where the client can specify the name or any other text that is needed to show to the respondent, this must be 100% url encoded, otherwise it will not work.

This process is duplicated for multiple findability exercises in the same page, so you can do this as many times, meaning that: if there is 4 Findability exercises in the Page setup, there should be here 4 instances of this variable in the link.

Lets assume we have 4 findabilty exercises in one page flow. And we assume each Findability shelf qType is named Q23 Q24 Q25 Q26 in the survey admin system. So the variables will look like so:

&findbarcode-Q23=SKU
&findbarcodetagtxt-Q23=sometext

&findbarcode-Q24=SKU
&findbarcodetagtxt-Q24=sometext

&findbarcode-Q25=SKU
&findbarcodetagtxt-Q25=sometext

&findbarcode-Q26=SKU
&findbarcodetagtxt-Q26=sometext

In the below example, you will see a demo that is setup for 1 findability, but the process is the same as noted above.
