Which bot proximity pattern setting is strictest?

[chris2929]

Hi there,

I've currently got my proximity pattern setting set to one second. Would changing this to zero seconds make it stricter or less strict?

What do you mean by strict?

If you set it to 0 seconds, it means that the activities need to happen in rapid succession.  If you set it to something like 2 seconds, it means the activities will be filtered if they take place within 2 seconds of each other. 

With the 0 seconds, there will be less filtered out as the engagements have to happen very close to each other. If you set it to 2 seconds, more data will be filtered out.

An elegant and simple explanation, thank you!
