Thanks for the input here. We will give some thought to what we can do on a bulk revise to saved listing descriptions and also images in a listing.quote:Originally posted by AutomotiveStyle:
Thank you Rebecca. Yes, I was aware of the live listing edit but had never tried using it. I just tried it now and noticed that there is an option to edit the DESCRIPTION field of the live listing. That is very good but, as lookandbuyme mentioned, this only works for active LIVE listings.
For Auctiva users that have MANY listings though (which I imagine there are a lot of), this does not help much because the SAVED listings are what need to be changed.
Also, it is not always just a word here and there that needs to be changed. Sometimes the formatting needs to be changed, pictures embedded into the description need to be changed and even pictures in the gallery need to be changed.
We need a way to be able to REPLACE the entire description field in SAVED listings. Instead of replacing the entire Item Details profile to do it, we just need something for JUST the Item description. Either add that as a separate profile that can be created or as an option in the Find/Replace page.
We also need a way to add or remove pictures in bulk to listings (I know you can replace them but not add/remove them).
Rebecca, if there are any of these features that you know of that are coming soon, please let us know. If not, these are features that have been requested MANY times in the past several years.
I know inkfrog does most of this. I don't think it would be a very difficult thing to add.
Thank you
A couple of things: First, we just introduced a new advanced edit feature that lets you edit the description, template, and almost any other detail about a saved listing when you go to relist it. This feature only works one listing at a time so its not bulk, but it is one lots of folks asked us for. I would be curious as to why you feel a 'bulk' capability is needed, so please do post back any thoughts you have.
Also...re images...you can edit a saved listing and we have recently provided a 'remove all images' link that will drop all the images from a listing in one go, and an 'add more images' link. Again this is one listing at a time and not bulk, but if we were to build a bulk feature that updates several listings at once, how would it need to work? If you have more thoughts on that, please post them.
Lastly, you had asked Rebecca about new features we may be working on. In general, we are working on new ones...and we have a preference for doing features that plenty of people have asked us for. The more people who have asked about a feature, the more likely we are to undertake building it. If you look at our new feature request center http://www.auctiva.com/products/features.aspx this is where we expose ideas as to what we are thinking about and ask for votes from our users. Check back on this from time to time...we update this periodically as features get done and as new ones come on the radar screen.
