Maximum ratings a user needs before becoming a mentor
The following setting specifies the maximum number of ratings a user can have to become a mentor. The sifter uses this setting if the Preference Engine is using that mentor set. You can specify the value as one of the following:- A percentage of the total number of items in the database. For example:
<mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_ratings = 75%
- The maximum number of ratings (that is, without a percentage). For example:
<mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_ratings = 18
Use the following guidelines for setting <mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_ratings:
| Total Number of Items in Database | Suggested Setting |
|---|---|
| < 1000 | <= 100 |
| 1000–5000 | <= 500 |
| 5000–10,000 | <= 1500 |
| 10,000+ | <= 1500 |
