Hi everyone. Does anyone keep a record of what tags you use on each listing and if so how (spreadsheet; database; paper list.). I generally use all the tags available and then change one for the totd tag where appropriate, but I don’t have a list of what items I’ve changed and I can’t find a list of my tags on the dashboard. Any suggestions on the best way to keep a record of tags would be really helpful! Thanks, Rachel
Sorry bit can’t imagine why you would want to do that so I certainly do not.
Like you, I often think I should keep a record, so I dont have to keep looking at every listing - I am always saying to myself - " have I done a favourite item for this month, and if so, what? Did I change the one tagged for last month’s favourite? If not, thats a wasted tag, but I cant remember which item I chose".etc etc etc
But never get round to it. If I did, it would be good old pencil and paper.

Exactly 
. I’d like to know which items I’ve tagged with a theme of the day previously without having to go through them all.
Because if I want to use a tag for theme of the day, it would be useful to see if my any of my listings already use that tag or something similar that I can amend rather than having to look at each individual listing.
Searching - If you use your shop name as a tag on every listing, you can then search for all your listings with a specific tag by typing your shop name and the tag into Search.
I used to do this all the time but stopped adding my shop name a few years back. I’m planning on adding it back in.

Oh thanks, I might try that (once the search engine is working more efficiently 
)
It should work fine for you if you put your shop name in quotes: “OasiscraftUK” and the tag in quotes as well

Used to work by putting the tag and shop name in quotes.
Not now since the silly search. Found one of my pendant lemon sets half way down and couldn’t be bothered to check the other 50 pages 
Thank you,that is helpful. I just did “samazama” “tag 1 may 25” and it did indeed come up with my item ( ok, so not the first, but still on the front page) that I have already tagged ready for later in the month, so I wont tag another one! Saved me going through them all. Thanks.

Interesting where it came up on the search… I just did it for my own tagged item for this month and it was the very first item in the results, which is what I’d expect / hope
Yes, I wondered how anything could have had a better match!!
Edited -
Perhaps I did something wrong or missed a letter or inverted comma or something, because I just did it again and my tagged item came up first, as I would have expected.

Interestingly I should note that it found me part way down and not at the very top as i had Lemon as a colour not also as a tag. Now it is tagged as lemon as well it is appearing first together with a few other things which I ‘lemon’ tagged while i was at it.
But the pendant set Does have lemon in the title too so what this appears to mean is that the tags are taking precedence over titles And colour tags.
Note also that if i don’t put quotes round my shop name it comes up third and the other 3 newly tagged but without lemon in the title are somewhere lost in the other 50 pages… Which is a bit ridiculous that i searched with 2 words and the second was virtually ignored.

I don’t but if I went back to having a lot of listings I probably would/should. I’m terrible for remembering the character count, so having a list of applicable tags I can pop into a new listing for something similar a previous piece it would be a huge time saver. I think Excel or Word would do the trick - in Word you can highlight and see the character count of each list so that would save time.
