### Configure Banner Rule Settings

| Field                    | Description                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Rule Name**            | Enter a name to identify the merchandising rule, for example: "Summer Sale — Jewelry Search — June 2025."                |
| **Banner**               | Select the banner from the dropdown. Only banners created in **Discovery → Banners** are available.                      |
| **Banner Position**      | Choose the position where the banner should appear on the page (based on the selected layout and page type).             |
| **Repeat on Pagination** | Enable this option to display the banner on all paginated pages. If disabled, the banner appears only on the first page. |

### Page and Category Selection

Use the **Search Category** field to select the category, collection, or search context where the banner should be applied. Once selected, products related to that page are displayed in the **preview area**.

1. Click the **Duration** field in the rule configuration screen.
2. Set a **Start Date** and time. Start date defaults to the current date.
3. Set an **End Date** and time, or leave open for evergreen placements.
