Compare

After a user types in a keyword search for a particular item using the "Shop at the Top" feature, they can compare two or more listed items using the Compare link located beneath the "Add to Cart" button. Users can compare an unlimited number of items, but will eventually have to scroll their screen in order to view all items.

Favorites

Saved list of commonly purchased products. It is encouraged that you save your favorites into categories of items (ie "Office Supplies"). Quantities for products can be saved, as well.

• Personal Favorites

  Favorites saved to a personal MD account. Only users of the MD account can view this list. Once an item is saved to personal favorites and you have named it, you can search that name in the future using the "Shop at the Top" feature.

• Shared Favorites

  Favorites shared between all users in a certain business unit or university.

Hosted Catalog

Punch-Out Catalog
