### Set up your Recommendation Catalog
A Recommendation Catalog identifies the product events you'd like to generate recommendations from and maps those events against your existing data set.
Segment utilizes your interaction events (order_completed, product_added, product_searched, song_played, article_saved) and the event metadata of those interaction events to power our CustomerAI Recommendations workflow.

To create your Recommendation Catalog:
1. Open your Engage space and navigate to **Engage** > **Engage Settings** > **Recommendation catalog**.

## Best practices

- When mapping events to the model column during the setup process for your [Recommendation catalog](#set-up-your-recommendation-catalog), select the event property that matches the model column. For example, if you are mapping to model column ‘Brand’, select the property that refers to ‘Brand’ for each of the selected interaction events.
- Because a number of factors (like system load, backfills, or user bases) determine the complexity of an Audience, some compute times take longer than others. As a result, **Segment recommends waiting at least 24 hours for an Audience to finish computing** before you resume working with the Audience.
- As the size of your audience increases, the propensity to purchase typically decreases. For example, an audience of a hundred thousand people that represents the top 5% of your customers might be more likely to purchase your product, but you might see a greater number of total sales if you expanded the audience to a million people that represent the top 50% of your customer base.
