A custom list dataset contains up to 5,000 curated product IDs (PIDs) that you can use as part of an action condition, as part of a WHO target in an experience, or as part of a filter in a recommendation strategy. This dataset type allows you to target customers who have browsing or purchase behaviors related to the PIDs in the custom list.
Follow these steps to create a custom list dataset in the platform.
- Click DATASETS in the top navigation bar, and then click Product Data.
- Click CREATE DATASET.
- Select Custom List in the Create Dataset Schema wizard, and then click NEXT.
- Name the dataset and then click NEXT.
- Select a method to add the PIDs to the dataset, and then click NEXT.
- Input the PIDs using the method you selected in the previous step.
- If you selected Input a list of product IDs, then copy and paste into the text field the PIDs as comma-separated values or as a list with one PID per line, and then click CONFIRM AND CREATE.
- If you selected Upload a list of product IDs, then drag and drop the file containing the PIDs, and then click CONFIRM AND CREATE once the wizard has verified the file.
- If you selected Input a list of product IDs, then copy and paste into the text field the PIDs as comma-separated values or as a list with one PID per line, and then click CONFIRM AND CREATE.
Monetate ingests the product IDs and closes the wizard. It automatically assigns the new dataset a unique ID that you cannot edit.
