Property Format Description

Property	Format	Description
UserProfileProperties	An array of Key/Value pairs like [{"Key":"key","Value":"value"},{"Key":"key ","Value":"value"}]	These properties represent the user profile properties of the current user. Depending on your configuration the Analytics service can rely on them to drive certain filtering of the analytics data you retrieve - such as: Including just the Analytics of users from the same Country, Department and Age group, etc. In general you would be fetching these value from the UserProfile Service from SmartHub but it's also possible to manually compute them from other external services or data sources
QueryText	String value	The query text for which the recommendations are fetched
QuerySuggestionsOptions	String value (serialized array of JSON objects)	The settings that control the recommendation service. These settings are in the form of a serialized JSON object that includes an array of object with the following properties: Id - the ID of the algorithms NoOfSuggestions - the number of suggestions to fetch For example: To fetch recommendations for 2 algorithms: 5 suggestions for algorithm 0 2 suggestions for algorithm 1 the value would be: `"[{\"NoOfSuggestions\":\"5\",\"Id\":\"0\"},{\"NoOfSuggestions\":\"2\",\"Id\":\"1\"}]"`
