Admin users must be assigned the “View all buyer companies permission” or directly assigned to Administer Catalog for one or more Buyer company in order to see the Products tab.
Product search allows an Admin user to quickly locate a specific product or set of products. Additionally, navigation to the Product Catalog page is possible from the product search page.
To search for a product:
1. Logon to the Admin interface.
2. Click on the “Products” top navigation tab.
3. Select the desired Catalog.
a. All: All products, both assigned and unassigned.
b. Unassigned: Those products that do not have at least one category assignment.
4. Enter criteria in the “Search for” box.
5. Select the fields to search.
6. Click the “Search” button.
Product Search results are returned based on a behind the scenes ranking done by the application. An exact match on Product ID or Interop ID will return the highest match, followed by an exact match on Product Name. After exact matches, the application will continue to list products ordered by partial match on Product ID, Interop ID, Product Name and Description.
The results that are returned have a link to each Product as well as some basic product information. Text entered in the “Search for” box will be highlighted in the results.
You may also search for a product by using quotation marks around the Product ID or Product Name if you know those fields.
