Introduction

The preezie logic/rules use “Lucene query syntax”.

There are different types of logic that can be set up under the “Rule Condition”:

The option for general rules and logic in preezie is the “Partial String Match” option in the Rule Conditions section in the answers.

Open

Rules can be mixed and matched to create some CRAZY Advanced Logic that will work wonders for a selected answer.

In the examples below we will be using the values Red, Green and Blue to see how syntax can be applied in logic/rules.

Double Pipe ( || ) = OR

Basic Rules:

Exclude Rules:

Wild Card Search:

Search more than one field:

NOTE: Fields in these rules are case-sensitive.

Fuzzy Search:

Proximity Search:

In this section, we will look at some use cases for advanced logic that can be used to assist you in the development of your own journey.

Example 1:

If you have a single question that is asking a variety of things at once this may be helpful for you.

If the question asks “What type of fabric would you like for your Hoodie?”, and you have not already asked for the type of product, “hoodie” for example, we can combine all of those options in a single answer.
The answer options are 1. Wool. 2. Not Wool.

Output:

Answer 1. “Woolen”
Answer 2. “Not woolen”

Data:
The product type for the hoodies is “Jumper”, all the other data points are located in the tags field.

Logic:

Example 2:

If there is an issue with the cleanliness of the data in the feed this may be helpful to you. We are searching for product features for TVs in the example below.

If the question asks “What features are you looking for?”, but the data has a list of features listed in one field such as the description. OR there is a string of messy data in the tags field.
The answer options are 1. 4K UHD. 2. Smart TV. 3. OLED Screen. 4. Gaming Ready

Output:

Answer 1. “4K UHD”
Answer 2. “Smart TV”
Answer 3. “OLED Screen”
Answer 4. “Gaming Ready”

Data:
The data can be used from one or two fields depending on where the data is located. This can be different for different products, make sure to check several products in the category to ensure that the data you are looking for is in the correct field for all of the products. e.g. If a TV in this example has data only in tags, you should only search in tags if all other TVs have the same structure. If TVs have data in both you can search in both to ensure you do not miss an outlier that may only have the data located in the description.

The example data below has all the data we need for all the answers in both the description and the tags.

Bold and colored for your convenience, these are the fields identified to fit with the answers above.

Some of this data may not be obvious, “gaming” is clearly defined in the description in Green, however, the tags are where the Refresh Rate 200Hz and the HDMI 2.1 make this a good gaming TV. Ensure you know what makes a product suitable for an answer. These can sometimes require some research.

Logic:

In Answer 1 logic above the logic is a simple search in two fields, ensure that logic with multiple words are “bracketed”, the others are not required to have quotes.

In Answer 2 logic above there is a Special Character in the Disney+ part of the logic the ( + ) is a special character and needs to be escaped with a backslash ( \ ).

In Answer 3 logic above we are searching for OLED in two fields but AND making sure that we are looking for only TV options, as there are other OLED products such as Phones & Laptops. If we changed the AND in the logic above to an OR we would be searching for OLED or TVs, opening up the logic to other devices.

In Answer 3 logic above we are searching for all the required key words but are also including the different Hz frame rate options as there may be other TVs that work well for gaming.

In this section, we will look at how you can use search between a range, greater than or less than a value.

Import Template value search:

NOTE: The preezie Import template converts all values to currency, it will include $ Dollars & c Cents.
So $50 will become 5000 once imported, it is always without the decimal (.)
If you would like to import without the extra (00)'s speak to your CSM.

Range Logic - use as a Match Rule:

Why use this logic with the warning label above?
This logic will allow for rules to conditionally use value searches & string searches at the same time.
