Nocode

What this solution does

The Nocode module by Inetris enables editors and content managers to configure multi-stage content delivery logic for recommendation widgets, curated collections, newsletters, and RSS feeds without involving technical specialists.

The system operates through four sequential stages. First, all significant source data—criteria—are defined to more accurately identify visitor interests. Next, the system locates rules that reference these criteria as inputs and matches them with assigned values. In the third stage, content (products, news items, or advertising materials) is retrieved based on the output conditions of the identified rules. Since numerous matching items may be found, the final stage applies sorting and quantity limits. For instance, a rule can specify displaying the two most viewed products: the system first sorts by view count, then selects the top two results.

Terminology:

Criterion: A characteristic of a visitor, their location, browsing history, a specific news item, time of day, or season. Criteria are classified as significant (used in at least one rule) or insignificant (ignored by the system).

Condition: A formally defined requirement. Input conditions are criterion-value pairs necessary to trigger a rule.

Output parameters define the conditions for selecting news items. Sorting specifies the criterion and direction for ordering. The maximum quantity sets a limit on the number of materials selected based on the output conditions.

A rule is a set of conditions that must all be satisfied simultaneously. The result of a rule execution is a collection of elements, such as news items.

Assumptions:

1. Multiple rules with identical input parameters may exist.

2. Rules are executed in descending order of priority. A placeholder rule can be placed at the end to ensure the required number of news items is reached if previous rules do not yield enough results.

3. If the Value field is left empty, elements with the same parameter value as the source object are selected.

4. Sorting is always performed before applying the quantity limit.

5. The input must contain a complete and sufficient set of criteria. If a criterion is deemed significant but is missing from the rule, the rule will still execute.
