My turn to thank you again Paul. As always, short percutant, no downtime but exhaustive.

[@RichardWadeUK]

Excellent overview Paul (as always!)... I discovered the JetEngine glossaries recently and it saved me a ton of time with some long lookups, and applying the same values to different places :0)

[@Crocoblock]

That's awesome ;) Glad that it was useful :)

[@AnthonyTilahun]

@PAUL, TWO WORDS! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was trying to rack my brain on this and how it works. You broke it down to bite size chunks that my brain can handle. lol :)

[@StevanOvich61]

Nice Tut Paul... This will save some time 👍

[@JRGWxRxZ]

Thank you Paul 👍. It's a Real Time saving feature.

[@roblilley2343]

Thanks Paul for the great vid. This is definitely a handy feature, and I also look forward to when we can import/export these glossaries, esp for larger lists. Crocoblock just keeps getting better :)

[@Crocoblock]

Hello Rob! Happy to hear the you enjoyed :) As for importing-exporting, indeed, currently there's no such an opportunity. Hope, we'll be able to add it in the future ;)

[@dnrhossain]

Again Thanks for easy describing video. All terms are easy when you describe it.

[@Crocoblock]

Happy to hear that you enjoyed it ;)

[@bangaloreoffices]

hi paul do you have a video hoe to import Values and labels in glossaries at using a csv or jason file

[@24SevenMarketing]

This is a GREAT feature. Now hopefully they will soon release a tool for exporting and importing Glossary lists. Just the thought of never having to enter another list of US states ... or counties in a state ...etc. would make my life sooooooooo much easier!!!!!

[@Crocoblock]

Hi! Thank you so much! Hopefully, in the future we'll add such an opportunity :)

[@WPTuts]

I know exactly what you mean....

[@serdimay7]

Awesome. I read about glossary a few days ago. Are you going to make a video combining it with jet smart filters?

[@Crocoblock]

Please stay tuned with our channel ;) As for now, here's a textual tutorial dedicated to this topic crocoblock.com/knowledge-base/articles/jetengine-glossaries-functionality-overview/#title4

[@aceweboneglobe9412]

Thank you for another good video. Is there any way to make any layered (related) selection for Glossaries? Like not only select from position (sales agent, assistant sales agent, executive sales agent, etc.). but also first select from upper layer like division (sales, accounting, HR, etc.) then if you select “sales”, you can choose position from sales division....

[@Crocoblock]

Hello! Sorry, but we don't have such functionality. Please feel free to submit your feature request at github.com/Crocoblock/suggestions

[@dunkan33]

Hi, and thank you for your helping videos. I have a question about glossaries, is it possible to make hierarchical glossaries ? Without making conditionnal relation, I mean, like category and sub category inside a glossary. Thank you again for your work !

[@Crocoblock]

Thank you for your feedback! At the current moment, it's a feature request.

Great new option. One of the important things is using Glossary you simply can't enter any other value by mistake except for the current ones.

[@Crocoblock]

Good point ;)

[@nemo6630]

I have seen this option since its introduction and the first thing I thought about "can it replace taxonomies?" because jetengine does not have a filed taxonomy yet in the backend. The goal is to centralize the customer's attention on a single area to fill and keep only the featured image on the side.

[@Crocoblock]

Hello! No, the Glossaries can't be used for Taxonomies. If you want to show the Taxonomy withing your Listing Grid you can use the Dynamic Terms widget (crocoblock.com/knowledge-base/articles/jetengine-dynamic-terms-widget-overview/)

[@dragon3602010]

great but can we on the dashboard for a CPT have the ability to list them and also possibility to add if it's not existing i saw that we can only do that for checkboxes and not for select field?

[@Crocoblock]

yes, it can be done with the checkbox field only as for right now

[@dragon3602010]

@@Crocoblock oki thanks

[@user-km5nm5zk1p]

Can I sort listing grid by glossaries?

[@emailjough]

this is great, thanks. What is not clear to me is how glossaries differ from meta boxes (or taxonomies for that matter) that can be shared across multiple post types.

[@Crocoblock]

Hello! You can create a glossary only once and use it across all CPTs and withing the Form by just selecting it from the dropdown list.

[@vinsonlozano60]

Thank you Paul for this tutorial. Can I use glossary for images as well so that I will not need to upload the same images all over again? My use case is I have a checkbox metabox and user need to select one or multiple and I wanted to display the images depending on their selected checkbox. So if they picked apple and oranges on the checkbox, it should display an image off that fruits on the front end without the need to have an media upload field on the metaboxes. Is glossary the right way or taxonomy? I need to have more than 15 images for each checkbox and using media field type is not the best solution imo. Thank you

[@Crocoblock]

Hello! There is no option to add images to the glossay. Try to create an options page with all the pictures you need. Then use the dynamic visibility to display the correct picture depending on the checkboxes value. Use the condition In the list for dynamic visibility condition.

[@DaxPegels]

Great feature.

[@Crocoblock]

Thank you!

[@KieranBriggs]

Excellent video as usual Paul, but i'm struggling to see why I would want to use that over taxonomies, as by setting them as tax we can use archives.

when to use glossary ? can anyone tell me in simple terms?

Hi, is possible in front end custom form add a new entry in Glossary ?

[@Crocoblock]

Hi! Could you please describe in more detail and provide me with an example?

[@Hugomendesfla]

I created a glossary of years (2021, 2020 ...) (Field Value and label are the respective years), put it in a filter in Smart Filters and when it goes to the select filter, instead of passing the values ​​like the years, it is 00, 01, 02 ... (jsf = jet-engine & meta = _exercicio: 01). How can I solve teacher?

Will you guys ever add pay to post with jet engine front end form? And then after 30 days make the listing self delete because of expiration?

[@Crocoblock]

Hello! As for the payment, please take a look at the following tutorial crocoblock.com/knowledge-base/articles/jetengine-how-to-add-payment-gateway-to-the-form/. Answering your question about deleting the post, we didn't plan to add such functionality.

[@julesstigers6587]

Can you do a walkthrough for how to create a knowledge base using Crocoblock? :)

[@Crocoblock]

You can store your articles as custom posts and use custom taxonomies to categorize them. With JetEngine, you can build this structure and show manage it crocoblock.com/knowledge-base/article-category/jet-engine/ In case if you need further assistance, please submit a ticket at support.crocoblock.com/support/tickets. Thank you!

Hi, Paul, how are you? I am writing to you from Argentina, I have followed you for years on KZbin. I need to ask you a question if you don't mind. I have an ecommerce built with jetengine and a listing grid to show the products. Is there any way you don't show the products out of stock. Thank you very much for all the tutorials and videos. Greetings from Argentina. Hug!

[@raulgil8207]

Hola, te escribo en español, pues eres de Argentina, supongo que puedes agregar "out of stock" como un tipo de taxonomía o de etiqueta y excluirlo en el listing grid donde muestras los productos, o quizás como un campo dentro del producto, y aplicar alguna condición de visualización.

Hi! The form is created with the JetEngine.

How can show the glossary in list with two colums?

[@Crocoblock]

Hi! Please, contact our support on this issue - crocoblock.com/help-center/

[@jeffreyhenry4615]

So what is the difference between Glossaries and TAX?

[@Crocoblock]

Hi! Glossaries allow you to create a list of items with labels and values and use it as many times as you need. You won’t have to type in the same values on and on - the created list can be used for different multi-choice fields and forms. Taxonomies allow categorizing the Posts Types according to any classification characteristics.

hello, can you help me,When I click on form submit button it says "booking dates already taken" and it doesnt redirect to checkout page tho I set up woocommerce...(I am using booking)

I wish we can import stuff for Glossary especially for Country and Language list.

[@Crocoblock]

Hello! We hope in the future we'll add such functionality. Thank you!

[@zerobambiro]

I dont like to use glossaries, because it seems not to give te option to choose different colors or icons for each glossary

[@Crocoblock]

The purpose of the Glossary is a different one :) It helps to create a list of options that can be used for meta fields, filters and form fields. Please, try to use repeater fields to add options list with an icon for each option.

[@asmarove]

for some reason, there is no option to export the Glossaries and use them on another website. pretty weird :)

[@Crocoblock]

Yes, currently there's no such an option. Probably in the future it will be added.

[@adeladili4291]

Field Value better / need in Lowercase

[@slava_po]

Why does the plugin stop working when the license expires? Is this a normal practice for you?

[@Crocoblock]

Hello! According to our policy (crocoblock.com/faq/) once the license expires you stop receiving plugins updates (i.prntscr.com/5_xNoPwgT6mnxD6ywwvdfA.png). The plugin remains on your end, and you can continue using it (that version that you have). However, the updates may contain not only new features but also fixes and updated compatibility with other plugins (in particular, compatibility with the latest Elementor versions).

[@medodoha84]

I think it's similar to taxonomies. The main difference that we don't link it with specific post type while creating them.

[@Crocoblock]

Hello! No, it differs from Taxonomies. It's more like Meta Boxes, and you can use them across different CPTs and use in the Form easily.

[@jamesjaryl2571]

🤔

[@malikqatagan8977]

Not a lot difference between metaboxes

[@Crocoblock]

Glossaries are even more handy. They can be used in different ways by just selecting appropriate Glossary, and no extra efforts are needed. For example, in the Form crocoblock.com/knowledge-base/articles/jetengine-glossaries-functionality-overview/#title3
