Elastic product tags are used to filter, categorize and highlight products. They also tie to multi-brand dashboards, product browser tags, Collections, Sales Programs and dashboards.

  • If tech mapping exists, this filter will be turned on automatically 
  • If generic colors exist in the product data, 'Color' filter will always be there
    • To use different tag to filter per color, hide the color filter and create a new one with a different name, for example 'Colorways'
  • Product tags are case sensitive
  • Elastic does not support nested product tags 



IMPORTANT

  • Elastic doesn't handle instances where product tags within a single TagName are provided on both style level and color code level. This will break the filters.
  • Using more than a thousand TagValues under one TagName will lead to performance issues.



Food For Thought And Use Cases

How is your brand utilizing product tags? Do you need some tags on the style level, and some tags on the color level? Do you need different tags in each catalog? 


Tags on style level

All catalogs have similar products

Minimal variation within a style

Example: Products don't change between catalogs, not much variation within an item number


Tags on style and color level

Same products are similar between catalogs

Variations within a style

Example: Products are similar between catalogs, but have multiple colors available


Tags on style and catalog level 

Similar products with the same item number

Differences between catalogs

Example: The same item can be new in one catalog and a carryover in another


Tags on style, color and catalog level

Different products inside a item number, variations between catalogs

Example: Variations between styles and catalogs


Mixture

Some tags are needed on the color level, some on the style level

Please note that these variations need to be consistent within one tag name, the same tag can't have values on the style level and color level
