How to Browse

After you select a top-level commodity, the Browse Catalog results list contains a list of all the categories of items in that commodity. For example, in:

Cleaning Supplies: Mops, Buckets, Detergents and so on.

1. Use the browser scroll bar (on the right-hand side of the browser window) to scroll down through the list of categories in the Browse Catalog results list.
2. Click a category name.

The Procurement application displays a new list containing all of the next-level sub-categories.

For each item in the list, the Procurement application displays:

• The number of items in the category, and
• The browse path (or cookie crumb trail) to the item:

Entire Catalog > Category > Sub-category > and so on....

For example:

Cleaning Supplies> Mops & Brooms > Floor Wax Applicators

3. Repeat these steps, and continue to browse toward the item you want.

For example:

When you reach the lowest level category, it is marked with a symbol indicating that there are no further sub-categories below this point.

Like this:

There are no further sub-categories, beyond this sub-category.

4. Click a final sub-category name.

The Procurement application displays a Sorted Results List, containing all items in your final sub-category.

If there are enough items for the list to fill several pages, use the Navigation Controls to move forward and backward through the pages when Navigate Lists.

You can also use the drop-down menu and text entry boxes, above the list, to filter, sort or group the list, and find the items that interests you.
