    @jim_mctiernan what is the best practice of using Recommendations? How many variations are minimum for running the test? Should there be at least 10-20 content variations?

      If you have only 10 to 20 variations, I suggest you use an AB Test Auto-target Activity instead of a Recommendations Activity. That will be the best approach for such a limited set of recommended offers. Note that the Target ‘Recommendations’ Activity type is designed for 100s to millions of unique items that need to be suggested. Please see the Target AI Activity type overview here which should help with where/when to run each Target Activity type: https://business.adobe.com/content/dam/dx/us/en/why-adobe/experience-cloud-artificial-intelligence/pdfs/Adobe-Sensei-Datasheet-Adobe-Target-features-powered-by-Adobe-Sensei-Datasheet.pdf

        @Jim_McTiernan How -   If I want to create a JSON design to return the top 10 most popular of all time, what should my JSON look like?  Would I keep the same design as the example JSON here (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/recommendations/recommendations-design/create-design.html?lang=en), or would I remove the key line because I do not want the top 10 to be based off a key?

          Yes, you can use that same design and remove the 'key' line as it won’t be necessary for a Popularity algorithm.

            @Jim_McTiernan How can I create a new mbox to put into my sites, so that I do not have 1000 collisions?

              The default target_global_mbox set by at.js should really be all you need in most cases. Collisions can be alleviated using Priority settings.  See: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/activities/priority.html?lang=en

               

              If you do need to create more mboxes for some reason, you can use the at.js getOffer and applyOffer functions outlned here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/implement-target/client-side/at-js-implementation/functions-overview/adobe-target-getoffer.html?lang=en

                @Jim_McTiernan What is the best way to create reporting dashboard for multivariate test? How do we pull location contribution reports for MVT activities?

                  The best method to evaluate your Target MVT reports is via the Analysis Workspace A4T Panel. Please note that the location contribution reports are not available there however, so you will need to view those reports in the Target reporting UI.  See: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/analyze/analysis-workspace/panels/a4t-panel.html?lang=en
