This process suggests products to constituents based on related roles defined to a product. You can configure the system to suggest products based on a plethora of variables such as, past purchases, membership involvement, past meeting attendance, etc. For example, on the e-Business website, if a constituent bought a book and the sequel was released, the sequel would be suggested to the constituent. This process only works after a role is setup. A role defines a product relationship with one another.
