Adding items to the Etilize Product Comparison Window
To add items to the Etilize Product Comparison Window, use the [Compare] button on the Product Sourcing Panel.
Compare Button
To add an item to the comparison window, simply click on an item in the Product Sourcing Panel and then click on the [Compare] button. A new window will open and the item will be added. Repeat this step to continue to add items to the comparison window.
Comparing Items
After you have added your items to the Comparison window, you have two checkboxes available for comparing items against each other.
Get Pricing & Availability Checkbox
This checkbox will display the real-time pricing and availability across all the items in the comparison window so you can check pricing on all items at once. Similar to the Product Sourcing Panel, the best cost will be highlighted in green. If you would like to add an item to your quote, simply click on the item's price or the [select] hyperlink and the item will be added to your quote. Additionally, the vendor part number is also hyperlinked and when clicked will open the vendor website for you to review the item there as well. If an item is pulled from the Part Locator, a bulls-eye icon will appear next to the item's price.
Highlight Product Differences Checkbox
This checkbox will highlight any differences between items in yellow. For example, the manufacturer part number will be different for these items, so it will be one of the fields highlighted when we apply that selection.
Remove All Items from Comparison Window
The [Remove All] button will remove all the items from the Comparison Window at the same time.
Remove
To remove an item from the Comparison Window, simply click on the Remove hyperlink at the top of the window.
The [Remove] hyperlink also available at the very bottom of the comparison window.
To close the Etilize Product Comparison window, click on the "X" on the top right of the window. This will exit the window.
