Keywords

What changed?

We are excited to introduce a dedicated Keywords feature for items in MarketTime! Finding products quickly during order writing and on your B2B website is essential, and this update makes search faster, more accurate, and more flexible.

Previously, many users relied on Tags as a workaround to make items searchable by extra terms. With this release:

• Keywords is now its own dedicated feature built specifically to power search.

• Tags can now return to their original purpose as predefined labels and filters for grouping products.

• Automatic Migration: Any existing values in your Tags field have been automatically moved over to the new Keywords field (up to 10 keywords per item) so you won't lose any searchability.

Key Benefits for Users

• Faster Product Discovery: Assign descriptive terms—like fur, stuffed animal, or wildlife—so sales reps writing orders and buyers browsing your B2B site can instantly find what they need.

• Quick Data Entry: Add individual keywords or type a comma-separated list to add multiple terms in one go.

• Clutter-Free Search: Expand search visibility without creating hundreds of extra Tags.

How to Manage Keywords in the Web App

Adding keywords to your products is quick and simple:

1. Open an item's details page in apps.markettime.com

2. Locate the Keywords field.

3. Type a single keyword or enter multiple comma-separated keywords (e.g., Animal, Wildlife, Bear).

4. Click Add or press Enter.

5. Click Save.

Handy Features & Rules:

• Capacity Counter: You can assign up to 10 keywords per item. A counter will show how many slots you have remaining.

• Duplicate Protection: The system automatically prevents duplicate keywords on the same item.

• Easy Removal: Need to make a change? Just click the X on any keyword chip to delete it.

Importing & Exporting Keywords

Managing keywords in bulk via file uploads is simple:

UI Item Import

• Format: Provide keywords as a comma-separated list in your import file.

• Updating Existing Keywords:

  • If the Keywords column is included with values, it updates the item's keywords.

  • If the Keywords column is included but left blank, any existing keywords on that item will be removed.

  • If the Keywords column is omitted from the file entirely, existing keywords on your items will remain untouched.

Item Export

• Exported item files now include a dedicated Keywords column formatted as a comma-separated list, making it easy to review or make bulk edits.
