Welcome to your DataFeedWatch updates digest! We've got improvements to the app plus live chats and webinars. Keep reading to find out exactly what we've been up to this October. 

October 2021 Updates

Combine rule gets improved 

Solutions 8 x DataFeedWatch video chat

Webinars 

New search bar for easy 'combine' rule creation 

Easily find the attribute you're looking for when adding them to a rule using the combine feature. Using 'combine' in a rule allows you to put multiple attributes together in the order of your choice. This allows for the creation of fully optimized fields like product titles and descriptions

For example, the data titles might be in an order that isn't recommended for Google Shopping listings. To fix that, you can easily place attributes like color, size, brand, and more in the order best suited for the category of your product. There are some ideas in the graphic below. 

Over the last few months, you may have noticed that we've been making adjustments to elements of the app like more intuitive dropdown menus and text unification. This update follows suit. You'll now see a searchable box within the dropdown menu. This will make it easier for you to find the exact attribute you're looking for. 

Before

There was still a dropdown menu before the update, but in order to select the right attribute you would need to type it in to the main text box.

After

Now a search box appears within the dropdown menu with an additional 'Enter Text' column to more easily add your own text that isn't an internal or input field.
