Create a new ruleset

  1. On the left sidebar, click Brand and Content, then select the Content Rules tile.
  2. Click the + Create New button.
  3. Select Create From Description to have Describely automatically create a ruleset from a sample product description. This can be from a live URL OR copied and pasted.

4.     Name your new ruleset and add, remove, or edit rules as needed. 
        Note: If you'd like to set your new ruleset as the default for your catalog's bulk                            generations, don't skip the checkbox at the top.

5.   To customize your bullet point count, length, and instructions within your ruleset, add               a Bullet Point Setup rule.

     Example: Try telling the AI to include only specific product specifications or attributes in           each bullet point (with examples as needed). 

   

     You can also choose whether to strictly enforce the character limit for each bullet point.

6.   Click Save and Apply to save your ruleset and return to the bulk generation window.                Voila! Now you can now create product content in bulk using your new content rules.

Edit or manage existing rulesets

  1. On the left sidebar, click Brand and Content, then select the Content Rules tile.
  2. Locate the ruleset you'd like to edit or manage from the list. 
    Note: The Describely Default rules cannot be changed. Custom rulesets can be edited, cloned, set as a default, or deleted.
  3. Make any edits to rules as needed. To remove a rule, click the trash icon on the right. To add a rule, click Add Rule on the bottom left. 

  4. Click Save and Apply to save your changes. Voila!

Using multiple Content Rulesets for different brands or product categories? Create a custom catalog view to apply them to your products in batches OR save a unique default ruleset for each category's CSV catalog!

Assign default custom rulesets

Within Describely, you can assign custom rulesets as catalog-level defaults, account-level defaults, or both. Setting default rulesets will save you time when working across multiple catalogs.

Describely prioritizes different default rulesets in the following order: 

  • 1st:  Catalog default rulesets
  • 2nd:  Account default rulesets (if no catalog defaults exist)
  • 3rd:   Custom rulesets (if no account or catalog defaults exist)
  • 4th:   Describely's default ruleset (if no custom rulesets exist)

Need to use the same ruleset across your entire account?

  1. On the left sidebar, click Brand and Content, then select the Content Rules tile.
  2. Click the Set as Default button to the right of your ruleset to make it your account default. 

Looking to apply unique rulesets to each catalog?

When you create or edit a ruleset from your catalog, you can set it as a catalog default ruleset.
