Filters (manufacturer)

Filters will help you to narrow down the offers displayed


Filters allow you to narrow down the offers displayed. You can filter the products and offers using several criterias mentioned below. Basic filters can be found on the left-hand side in the “Products” tab.

Watch the video below to learn about the main elements of grouping and filtering our reports.


Presets

Presets are a configuration of basic filters and advanced filters, selected columns and their sorting, you can create and save in the application. You can load them each time you log into the application.

Text Search

If you know the name of the product, you can use text search (1) that filters out articles with a certain phrase in the name. You can type in a part of the name and as a result, you will see only the products with this particular string in the name. In text search, you can also look for products using EAN code, product code or the producer. To do so, all you need is to tick “✓” a relevant box in the “Text search options” (2). In the default settings, the only unticked box is “Ranking offer name”.


Turning on this option will allow you to search offers by the name displayed on the source website (this name can be different than the one in the application and the seed file).

Text search has a built-in option to multi-search. To search for multiple products you can use the special character “|”. As an example - to search 3 products you can use the formula: name1 | name2 | name3.

If you Copy data from one column of Excel file, you can just paste it into the text search field and the "|" sign separating information will be added automatically.

If you copy names/codes/EANs/producers from a different source, please keep in mind to separate each piece of information with ENTER.

Displaying currently available/unavailable offers

By default, we show only available offers in our application, but there is an easy way to display those currently unavailable. If you would like to see unavailable offers, all you need to do is check one of the boxes in the Filters section.
