Mergado 2 introduces major changes to the core and UI of our editor. The new range of tools is most visible on the Products page, where you’ll find an improved tabular display of elements. Learn what functions we have added and how to use them.

Improve your product overview

  • A completely new and elaborate table corresponds to the standard of Google Sheets or Excel. Marketers and online store operators who use them daily can now find this option in Mergado. Compared to the original version, it is clearer, and you can perform all the basic operations in a few clicks.
  • The table displays data similarly to, for example, a CSV feed — one line is one product, and one column is one element.
  • At the same time, the tabular view expands product control. You can work with predefined groups of elements suitable for bidding, pairing products, or defining your own combination of elements using the Custom element. You can also choose which groups of elements you need.
  • The table can now also work with parameters and attributes.
  • By choosing a specific query, you can dynamically change which products the data is displayed for. You can see if the value of a product does not match, for example, the number of characters or if the value is missing somewhere.

Do you have a group of elements that we could define and save similar to, for example, a bidding or pairing group? Write it to our forum. We will be happy to consider it and add it to Mergado.

What’s in the new toolbar?

1. Icons for special columns (anchor, image, Mergado ID, Product Name, Product Action).


2. Bookmarks for presets (pairing, bidding, and others) + own preset see. below.


3. Block of icons for setting the input and output values display ​​(display only input/​output, both, changes).


4. Icon for enabling manual changes in columns.


5. Icon block for display settings regarding multiple values ​​(first, one value per line, value separator selection).

6. Paging (also used by the current Mergado, just in a different place).

7. The icon for switching to fullscreen (the current Mergado also has it).
 

In the header, you can find:

  • icon for the sorting option (not for special columns)
  • tweaks to display EP info column title
  • cross for temporarily hiding the column (temporary = disappears if, for example, the page is refreshed or the preset is changed and does not affect the saved own preset)

 
We have improved the display of the table

We have changed the display so that it corresponds to the standards of spreadsheet editors (for example, from Google Sheets or Excel):

  • input is always on the left, output on the right
  • you can view different values
  • numerical values ​​are aligned to the right (ID, prices, etc.)
  • the bordered differences between columns and cells are more visible
  • new option to lock columns with special columns
  • the cursor behaves like in Excel
  • keyboard controls remain the same as in the current Mergado

How does a custom preset work?

  • it is an element path list
  • in the drop-down list next to the tab for your own preset, you can set which columns will be displayed
  • preset is saved for each user
  • change order via drag and drop
