Searching for items can be cumbersome and slow when you run many projects and have a Cloud catalog with thousands of items. This is because Cloud has to process your search keyword, filter down the catalog, and list only relevant items.
You have the option to create a cache of 'frequently used' or 'most important' items by marking them as "Favorite." This way, you can create your own collection of items that you can always see in a separate view in the catalog and the Item Search bar in the quote.
What can be marked as a favorite?
You can mark the following items as favorites:
Products
Labor Types
Allowances
Alternate Sets
Packages
How to mark items as favorite
You can use the following ways to mark items as favorites and build your Favorites collection.
From the 3-dot menu
Products, labor types, allowances, alternate sets, and packages have their own management pages under Catalog. Go to the relevant page, click the 3-dot menu, and click "Mark as favorite."
From the detailed view
Once you open the detailed view of any item, you will see a Green star icon in the top-right corner of the modal. Click the icon to add the item to the Favorites collection.
Bulk-update products as favorite
On the Products page under catalog, you have the option to select multiple products, click "Action on selected," and then click "Add to favorites."
You also have the option to first filter the page by the Brands, Suppliers, and Categories filters listed above and quicken the effort to build the Favorites collection.
In this example, we filtered products supplied by Amazon Business and marked them as favorites.
From the side panel
If you feel like you want to add an item to the Favorites collection when in the quote, click the item, click "View catalog item," and then mark it as a favorite.
Advantages of marking favorite
You can reap these advantages by building your Favorites collection.
Speed when quoting
With items marked as favorites, they will start to appear in a distinct "Favorites" tab in the Item Search bar. You can scroll through the favorites or search within the favorites and add many items quickly.
Ability to focus on specific items
Once you have marked favorites, you can use the "Favorites" filter seen at the top of the item management pages under Catalog. This will show only favorites; you can focus on editing or updating them.
