| Field | Description | | --- | --- | | Label | The name of the element as it appears on the canvas. | | API Name | The API name of the element. The API name must be unique. | | Description | Optional description of the element and how it works within the strategy. | | Condition | Create an expression for each branch that flows through the element. If the expression is true, the recommendations in the branch are allowed through. If false, the recommendations in the branch don’t progress any further through the strategy. Condition accepts standard Salesforce formula functions. For more information, see [Formula Operators and Functions by Context](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.customize_functions.htm&language=en_US). | ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-platform_automation-264-0-0-production-enus/60568438-ec7e-4665-acd1-7c80dcbe60d5/images/icon_note.png) Note Use $Record to reference fields from the context object. The context object is the object where you intend to surface your recommendations and can be changed by editing your strategy and choosing an object under **Object Where Recommendations Display**. Example: ISPICKVAL($Record.status, 'New'). For more information, see [Write a Strategy Builder Expression](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.nba_strategy_expressions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create unique expressions using logic from the Salesforce expression builder to filter recommendations, select or deselect branches, and determine which recommendations are available for consideration in a strategy."). ![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-platform_automation-264-0-0-production-enus/60568438-ec7e-4665-acd1-7c80dcbe60d5/images/icon_example.png) Example Suppose that you want to surface recommendations on the Case object so your service agents can suggest offers to your customers. If a case has been escalated, you want to offer a special discount. To do so you, create a load element that loads the recommendations associated with your offer. Create a branch selector that only allows recommendations from the branch if the case has an escalated status. Make your offer load element a child of the branch selector element. In **Condition** on the branch selector element, use the following formula: ISPICKVAL($Record.status, 'Escalated'). ## Usage Branch selector is an important element when you want to weed out entire branches at once. Unlike a filter element, it can’t filter based on individual recommendations. #### See Also - [Suggest Options with Recommendation Strategies](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.einstein_next_best_action.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Use Einstein Next Best Action to deliver tailored recommendations at the right moment.
