Tag Category Search | GT_PR_011

Infigo gives you the ability to apply a tag search to your categories, allowing your users to view all of the products within a particular category then filter the results to find exactly what they need. This action is undertaken using a range of Tag features available within Infigo, namely: Product Tags - Individual tags that are applied to products. Multiple tags can be applied to a single product, whilst multiple products can be given a single tag. Tag Categories - A grouping of tags, such as "pens" and "notebooks" and "mugs" tags being grouped within the "Office supplies" tag category. Tag Category Search Sets - The ability to group multiple tag categories within a single search. These search sets can be applied to a regular product category, meaning you can filter between its contained tag categories.

Infigo gives you the

00:00:15:22 - 00:00:18:22
ability to apply a tag
search to your categories,

00:00:19:00 - 00:00:23:03
allowing users to view all of the products
within a particular category

00:00:23:03 - 00:00:26:00
and then filter the results
to find exactly what they need.

00:00:26:26 - 00:00:28:03
This action is undertaken

00:00:28:03 - 00:00:32:04
using a range of tagging features
available within Infigo.

00:00:32:04 - 00:00:34:06
So we have product tags.

00:00:34:06 - 00:00:38:04
So these are individual tags
that are applied to our products.

00:00:38:12 - 00:00:41:07
Multiple tags
can be applied to a single product whilst

00:00:41:07 - 00:00:44:12
multiple products
can also be given a single tag.

00:00:46:00 - 00:00:47:26
Next, we have tag categories.

00:00:47:26 - 00:00:50:19
So this is a grouping of product tags

00:00:50:28 - 00:00:54:17
such as pens or notebooks and mugs.

00:00:54:29 - 00:00:58:08
Those might be individual tags
and then they might be grouped

00:00:58:08 - 00:01:00:27
within the office supplies tag category.

00:01:02:14 - 00:01:05:16
And finally,
we have the tag category search sets.

00:01:05:25 - 00:01:07:08
So this is the ability to group

00:01:07:08 - 00:01:10:19
multiple tag categories together
within a single search.

00:01:11:07 - 00:01:15:11
These search sets can be applied
to a regular product category,

00:01:15:18 - 00:01:19:25
meaning you can filter
between its contained tag categories.

00:01:22:07 - 00:01:22:16
So to

00:01:22:16 - 00:01:25:06
begin,
we're going to create some tag categories.

00:01:25:17 - 00:01:28:17
So if I navigate to that particular page
with it Infigo,

00:01:29:03 - 00:01:32:20
so if I just type tag and go to tag
categories,

00:01:33:22 - 00:01:35:21
this gives us a screen where we can create

00:01:35:21 - 00:01:38:05
new records for our tag categories.

00:01:38:25 - 00:01:41:15
So if I click add
new record up in the top corner

00:01:43:19 - 00:01:45:19
and at this stage
all I want to do is create

00:01:45:19 - 00:01:48:28
a tag category name

00:02:00:18 - 00:02:04:22
and then insert.

00:02:04:22 - 00:02:07:20
I can click on the ‘+’ icon to expand

00:02:08:22 - 00:02:11:12
the contents
of that particular tag category.

00:02:11:20 - 00:02:15:03
And what that will show me
is all of my available product tags

00:02:15:11 - 00:02:18:02
where I can select
one or multiple within here.

00:02:19:27 - 00:02:22:28
So I select the product tags
I want to include within that category

00:02:23:19 - 00:02:26:02
and click on save changes.

00:02:26:02 - 00:02:28:17
From this screen, I can also add new tags.

00:02:28:26 - 00:02:32:02
And just give us a summary of the selected
tags just as

00:02:32:02 - 00:02:36:15
a sanity check.

00:02:38:11 - 00:02:38:23
In this

00:02:38:23 - 00:02:41:14
example, we've created two tag categories.

00:02:41:25 - 00:02:47:14
One category contains the new tags
that we created in a previous tutorial,

00:02:47:22 - 00:02:50:18
and the other contains
the product type tags

00:02:50:18 - 00:02:54:17
which are associated with
some of our products we're using.

00:02:54:17 - 00:02:57:03
For this example.

00:02:58:00 - 00:03:00:05
Next, we're going to navigate to our tag

00:03:00:08 - 00:03:03:08
category search sets.

00:03:03:08 - 00:03:05:11
So again, this has its own separate page.

00:03:05:11 - 00:03:08:08
I can get to it
just by searching for tag and tag.

00:03:08:11 - 00:03:13:05
Category Search sets.

00:03:13:05 - 00:03:14:19
This works in a very similar way,

00:03:14:19 - 00:03:17:22
and we're going to add a new record
to the search set

00:03:19:06 - 00:03:33:03
and then assign it a name.

00:03:34:16 - 00:03:38:09
Click on the plus icon to show
what's included within that search set.

00:03:38:21 - 00:03:42:02
And we can see that
that we have our tag categories

00:03:42:02 - 00:03:44:27
that we just created
that we are able to choose from.

00:03:45:25 - 00:03:47:28
So for this example,
I'll choose both of those

00:03:49:03 - 00:03:49:10
and I'll

00:03:49:10 - 00:03:57:21
click Save.

00:04:01:17 - 00:04:03:05
So these tag category

00:04:03:05 - 00:04:07:14
search sets are assigned on a category
by category basis.

00:04:07:23 - 00:04:11:08
So the next thing we need to do
is to actually navigate to our individual

00:04:11:08 - 00:04:15:26
categories and select
if we want to show the tag category

00:04:15:26 - 00:04:18:26
filtering capability
and which of the search sets

00:04:18:26 - 00:04:21:22
we want to include
on that particular category.

00:04:22:20 - 00:04:25:14
So if I go to my menu search and search

00:04:25:14 - 00:04:29:28
for categories, manage categories,
that's my regular

00:04:31:01 - 00:04:32:27
product
level categories that we work with.

00:04:32:27 - 00:04:34:03
in Infigo.

00:04:34:18 - 00:04:36:28
and click on edit
next to my relevant category

00:04:41:26 - 00:04:42:08
next, I'm

00:04:42:08 - 00:04:44:20
going to go ahead to my display settings

00:04:45:23 - 00:04:48:14
and then right down
to the bottom of those display settings,

00:04:48:14 - 00:04:51:08
you'll see that there is a show
tag filtering option

00:04:51:20 - 00:04:55:20
which will enable that
filtering capability on our product page,

00:04:55:23 - 00:04:59:27
on our category page,
and then we have our target category set.

00:04:59:28 - 00:05:01:05
So this is the

00:05:02:10 - 00:05:04:25
tag category
search sets that we just created.

00:05:04:25 - 00:05:08:19
It gives us the ability to select
the one we want

00:05:08:19 - 00:05:11:15
that we want to utilize.

00:05:15:01 - 00:05:17:13
I'll go ahead and save that

00:05:21:12 - 00:05:23:25
and then I'm going
to view the category page

00:05:26:21 - 00:05:30:01
and what you can see there in addition
to the usual category list that

00:05:30:01 - 00:05:35:23
you might have as part of your category,
we now have this tag filtering capability.

00:05:35:23 - 00:05:37:25
And based on how we've set this up,
you can see

00:05:37:25 - 00:05:41:27
we have two major categories
within our filter.

00:05:41:28 - 00:05:44:27
So our new tags and our product types.

00:05:45:10 - 00:05:48:02
And then within
each of those tag categories,

00:05:48:02 - 00:05:50:21
we have the individual tags
that we can select between.

00:05:51:17 - 00:05:53:02
So hopefully this

00:05:53:29 - 00:05:57:26
explains why we need to go through all
those different levels of specification

00:05:59:17 - 00:06:00:14
and how this works.

00:06:00:14 - 00:06:03:18
So for example, if I only wanted to see

00:06:03:18 - 00:06:06:00
product type
one and product type two categories,

00:06:06:17 - 00:06:08:20
quick search and it will just show me

00:06:09:13 - 00:06:12:21
those related products.

00:06:17:00 - 00:06:21:14
we can also enable a setting
allowing the update to be automatic

00:06:21:20 - 00:06:25:14
when a new filter is clicked,
rather than having to manually

00:06:25:14 - 00:06:28:07
click the search button.

00:06:28:14 - 00:06:31:21
So to do this, we need to navigate
to our catalog settings.

00:06:33:00 - 00:06:35:02
So within the admin area of Infigo,

00:06:36:05 - 00:06:41:09
I go to my catalog settings.

00:06:41:09 - 00:06:45:13
You can search for tag if you want to
find it in a slightly easier way.

00:06:45:25 - 00:06:48:18
Or in this case, if you go
right down to the bottom of the screen,

00:06:48:26 - 00:06:54:01
we've got this option here,
which is tag search, trigger on change.

00:06:56:18 - 00:06:59:03
Click Save
to make sure those settings are applied.

00:06:59:21 - 00:07:03:28
And then I'm just going to go
and refresh my category page.

00:07:03:28 - 00:07:06:13
And what you can see now
is that the search button has disappeared.

00:07:07:03 - 00:07:10:29
And when I click on one of my filters,
the list of properties

00:07:10:29 - 00:07:13:28
should automatically refresh.

00:07:13:28 - 00:07:25:07
should automatically refresh.
