Over the Christmas holidays, a number of updates and bugfixes have accumulated. We hope you like them!

Top new features

  • Product tracking

    • This new tool allows you to easily analyze a product and track the changes throughout the rules’ application process. Thanks to this feature you will know what happens to the attributes’ values for a given product as rules are applied.
    • How to use this tool?

      • On the Products page, a new icon image was added to each product allowing you to activate tracking for the following 24 hours.

      • When rules are being applied, Mergado will track and save changes made by those rules to products that have the tracking enabled.

      • There are two ways to preview the results:

        1. By clicking the icon for a given product on the Products page you can preview changes from the last rules’ application.
        2. All changes are available to preview by clicking a particular record from the rules’ application on the History page.

      • 24 hours after activation, the tracking is automatically disabled. However, you are free to enable it again.

  • Bulk import of queries

    • A new button was added on the Products page. It allows you to bulk import queries from other export that you have access to.
    • The old way of importing queries (“one-by-one”) was canceled.

  • Custom format update

    • The form for mapping attributes is now colored. Now you can easily distinguish embedded attributes.
    • A new “Reset” button was added.
    • You can now preview an example of an attribute value.
    • General improvements that are visible “at first glance”, but make life easier both to the user as well as to our admins.

  • Feed audit was optimized and is now faster.

    • It should now cope better with larger feeds.

Other updates and bugfixes.

  • Rules’ application process was optimized to make it faster.
    • Evaluating the queries on the input was optimized to make it faster.
    • Pairing rule for the Heureka Watchdog app was optimized to make it faster.
  • Mergado Store: A new filter was added to the list of exports for which you can enable or disable an app.

  • The bug causing a UI failure in exports with ~ 100 000+ different attributes was fixed.

  • Mergado Store: a table with entities was fixed

News and repairs in Mergado

  • In the import tool, you can filter by query’s name .

  • Editing custom format has been moved two levels above. We’ve also added paging for better orientation.

  • We have optimized the compilation of MQL (a language which defines product query) with a large number of parameters (thousands or more).

    • In tests, for such large queries (e.g., a query with an IN operator, where 10000+ values ​​are present), we’ve recorded an acceleration from minutes to seconds .
    • This optimization affects the speed of making queries on the Products page as well as the speed of preparation before applying the rules.

  • At the user instigation from our forum, we now show the icon for downloading the CSV with a list of products as well in the product listing page.

  • In the Heureka Watchdog app, we have fixed a bug that caused fault product counts in different situations.

  • In the rules list, the Rename Categories in Bulk rules now display the element name for the categories according to the current output format.

  • Format Shoptet.cz is renamed to Shoptet S upplier . We also made the same changes in the Slovak version of the format.

  • We have updated the Feed Audit for Zbozi.cz format according to its current specification.

  • We have updated and fixed the Stileo.es and Stileo.it 1 formats according to their current specifications.

  • We have fixed an error in paging on the main export overview page.

  • We have corrected the error for Scontofacile.it, which caused the PREZZO price element not to be correctly matched during the conversion.

  • We have corrected the product card link at Heureka.cz if the product has such an address available.

  • We have taken further steps with the goal of preventing the occasional cancellation of the Keychain-Google Analytics connection.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Major changes

  • We have added support for block comments in MQL (product selection query language) in format /
  • … comment … */` .
  • For better protection against accidental deletion, you will now need a double confirmation when deleting the online store.

XML

  • We have released validation of element names before the final export of XML feeds - now it is possible to export parameters whose names end with a colon .
  • We’ve accelerated the XML import process if the input XML file is valid.
  • Exporting XML files has also undergone slight optimization. On test data, we tracked up to 50% acceleration in the final data feed export.

Rules

  • The Overwrite in Bulk rule on the right side now tells values that are already used on the right.
  • For the Rename Categories in Bulk rule, the names of the input and output elements for the categories are also displayed on the Rules page.
  • If a rule applying process is in progress for a given export, its progress is shown at the top of the page in Mergado - with a click-through icon for detailed information . This feature is in the test phase and we’re fine-tuning it.
  • We fixed a bug in the Biano.cz shipping pricing rule.

Custom format

  • We fixed a bug that occurred when a Custom format was used as input and output as one export .
  • We fixed a bug when exporting nested elements to a Custom format if more than one was defined for that format.
  • For custom formats, parameter and carrier names can now include a vertical character.
