Recommendation Definition Resources

Recommendation definitions allow you to create custom recommendations that appear in communities, encouraging users to watch videos, take training and more. Use these resources to get information about, create, modify, and delete recommendation definitions. Also get information about, upload, modify, and delete recommendation definition photos.

Community managers (users with the “Create and Set Up Communities” or “Manage Communities” permission) can access, create, and delete recommendation audiences, recommendation definitions, and scheduled recommendations in their communities. Users with the “Modify All Data” permission can also access, create, and delete recommendation audiences, recommendation definitions, and scheduled recommendations.

These recommendations appear directly in the feed in communities in the Salesforce1 mobile browser app. They also appear, by default, on the right side of the home page and anywhere community managers add them using Community Builder in communities using the Summer ’15 or later version of the Napili template.
