General
The Top Items List tab lets you create top items lists for your product feed. A top items list is a curated list of products based on predefined rules and sorted in a particular order.
A top items list can be used in campaigns through product selection cards. Two product selection card strategies use this list: Show Product from "Top Items List" and Retargeting (sometimes uses the list's products in campaign creative designs when additional products are needed).
Note: The maximum number of products (rows) allowed in a top items list varies by account. To find your specific limit, see the Limits & Quotas tab in your account settings. You can request a limit increase by creating a support ticket (Help > Open Support Ticket).
