Custom Product Tagging
Introduction to Custom Tagging
Eva now supports User-Defined Custom Tagging, allowing you to label and organize your products effortlessly. Whether you need a simple tag structure or a more advanced grouped tagging system, this feature helps streamline your inventory management.
There are two types of tagging structures:
- Standard Custom Tags – Simple labels assigned to products.
- Grouped Custom Tags – Organize tags under structured categories.
You can mix and match both types depending on your needs.
Organizing Products with Standard Custom Tags
Standard custom tags can be considered as simple custom labels that can be assigned to desired products. This structure is the default way to label your products with custom tag names. Just create your own custom tags and assign them to the desired products, that’s it.
Consider that you have labeled your products as follows:
You can filter your products according to their tags as follows:
When you select multiple tags for filtering, it will return all products assigned to any of the selected tags:
Organizing Products with Grouped Custom Tags
The Grouped Custom Tags feature helps you organize your products in a clear and structured way. Instead of using tags separately, you can group related tags under Tag Groups, making it easier to find and manage your products.
Each Tag Group represents a product attribute, while the tags within it serve as the possible values for that attribute. Using Tag Groups ensures a well-structured and easy-to-manage tagging system, making it simpler to filter and organize your products.
For example, if you want to categorize products by color, you can create a “Color” tag group and add tags like “Red,” “Green,” and “Blue” as values under it. Similarly, if you need to organize by size, you can create a “Size” tag group and include tags like “Small,” “Medium,” “Large,” and “X-Large”. Another common use is organizing clothing by gender, where you can create a “Gender” tag group with values like “Women’s,” “Men’s,” and “Unisex.”
Here’s an example of how your products can be tagged and grouped:
You can filter your products with the help of tag groups and tags as follows:
You can also use both standard tags and grouped tags at the same time. If a tag is not placed under a Tag Group, it will function as a standard tag, allowing flexibility in how you label and organize your products. This way, you can mix both structured and standalone tags depending on your needs.
Here is an example of using simple and grouped tags at the same time:
In this case, the filtering will be as follows:
Using Custom Tags on Eva
The product list table on the system’s welcome page (Trend Analytics) is where all operations, such as creating tags, assigning them to products, and tracking them, are carried out.

Match Any vs. Match All Filter
When filtering by multiple tags, you can choose between Match Any and Match All modes.
Match Any (Union)
- Displays products that have at least one of the selected tags.
- Acts as a Union of tags, meaning if a product has any of the selected tags, it will be included in the results.
- Use this option when you want a broad selection of products.
Match All (Intersection)
- Displays only products that have every selected tag.
- Acts as an Intersection of tags, meaning only products that contain all the selected tags will be included.
- Use this option when you need specific filtering to find products that match all your criteria.
Example Usage
You have 3 products with the following tags:
Product | Tags |
---|---|
Product A | Best Seller, High Rated, Red |
Product B | Discounted, New Arrival, Blue |
Product C | Best Seller, Discounted, Yellow |
Scenario 1: Match Any (Union)
Selected Tags: Best Seller, Discounted
Products Returned:
- ✅ Product A (Best Seller)
- ✅ Product B (Discounted)
- ✅ Product C (Best Seller & Discounted)
Since Match Any returns all products that contain at least one of the selected tags, all three products are included.
Scenario 2: Match All (Intersection)
Selected Tags: Best Seller, Discounted
Products Returned:
- ✅ Product C (Best Seller & Discounted)
Excluded Products:
- ❌ Product A (Only Best Seller)
- ❌ Product B (Only Discounted)
Since Match All returns only products that contain all selected tags, only Product C qualifies.
💡 Choose Match Any for a broader selection and Match All when you need precise filtering.
