After installing the module in Akeneo, navigate to the Akeneo Dashboard. Here, you will see the Webkul Akeneo Item Rules icon on the left side of the screen.

Under the Akeneo Item Rules tab, the user can easily create new rules. Apart from that, the user can also view the already-created rules. Besides that, the user can also edit/delete the rules.

Create a New Rule

After clicking on the tab Akeneo Item Rules there will be two options documentation, rule, and support.

Then to create new rules click on Rules>>Create.

After that, by clicking on the create rules button, the user will enter the name for the rule.

Scope Filter

Then in this, you have to select the channel and locale in which the user wants to execute the rule.

Add Conditions

After entering the name, add a condition for the rule. Now select the family, time condition, and category, and after that user will select an attribute to create the condition for the respective rule.

Now after selecting the attribute, the user will select the rule condition to apply to the attribute.

After that, the user will add value to the condition that needs to be applied to the product.

Add Action

After that, the user will then add the attribute to which the rule action will get applied.

Then after selecting the category and the attribute, the user has to select the action to be applied to the created rule.

Note: Remove whitespace helps in the removal of white space from an attribute value.

Scheduler 

After adding the condition and action admin can also schedule the cron job.

Execute Rule

Lastly, the user will save the rule and can view the rule created successfully under rules.

After that, the user will run the rule and needs to confirm before executing the rule.

After executing the rule, the user can see a success message for the same.

Product List – Rule Applied

Now, the user can check the rule applied to the product. The product name is hat before the rule applied to it.

The product name changes once the rule is executed, and cap is added to the product names that include hat.

Therefore, the user can generate the rules as per the locale as well. The user can select a particular locale to apply the rule.

The users can also apply the rule to a specific family.

The user has created a rule for the locale “English”. Now, the user adds the actions to it.

After that, pick a German local. The actions value are now added by the user.

After creating the rule, the user needs to run the rule.

After running the rule above, the user is now able to view the created rule. The user can also see a success message for the same.

After that, the user checks the rule applied to the product and the product description gets added to the locale “German”.

The locale “English” receives a product description.
