The idea is simple. Assign each of your items one or two flags. You’ll see these flags when you access your items in the back end. Such visual aids help you find the right items at a glance. You can also search for items in the back end that have a specific flag or combination of flags.
Take a look at the different flags that are included in plentymarkets. By default, flags are named after their ID. However, you can rename them as needed. Once you’re happy with the names, you can link the flags to items.

The idea is simple. Assign any number of tags to each variation. These tags serve multiple purposes:
Back end overview: you’ll see the tags when you access your items and variations in the back end. Such visual aids help you find the right variation at a glance. You can also search for variations in the back end that have a specific tag.
Keywords in the online store: you decide which tags should be visible to customers in the online store and which should not.
Other types of data: you can even use tags to highlight other types of data, e.g. customers, orders, tickets, etc.
First, create the tags that you want to use for your products, customers, orders, tickets, etc.
Creating a new tag:
Go to Setup » Settings » Tags.
Click on Create new tag ().
→ A window opens on the right-hand side.
Carry out the settings. Note the explanations in Table 2.
Save () the settings.
→ The tag is created and added to the list.

Translate the tag names into other languages. Example of use: Variation tags can be made visible to customers in the online store. If your online store is available in multiple languages, then the tag names should also appear in these languages. |
Once you’ve created your tags, you can link them with variations. Tags can:
Inheritance behaviour
Tags that you link to the main variation are passed on to the item’s sub-variations. To save other tags for a variation, deactivate inheritance and save different tags. |
