# Personalization reference

Open a page in **Composer** in the site admin and select the section you are inspecting. Use **Settings** and **Appearance** alongside the fields below. Read the [shared field guide](https://docs.amadalis.ai/reference/sections/common-fields/) for the meaning of the table columns.

Checked against the product’s code on 7 November 2026.

This reference lists the catalog fields and their basic starter configuration. Read [Shared section fields](https://docs.amadalis.ai/reference/sections/common-fields/) for the default rules and the shared groups of fields added to these sections. A chosen preset can start with different values.

CTA means call to action, such as a button or link. The table spells this out as Call to action.

## Recommendations

Cards supplied by the recommendation result. With no resolved items, the section draws no invented cards. The fields below describe the catalogue; the Composer currently refuses saving changes to **What each card shows**, **Always show first** and **Never show**. See [Recommendations](https://docs.amadalis.ai/optimization/recommendations/) for the current saving limits.

Also carries: Advanced fields, Appearance fields. See [shared fields](https://docs.amadalis.ai/reference/sections/common-fields/).
