In addition to the product and catalog templates, the ATG Store includes several pages that enable customers to compare products, maintain gifts lists, and create lists of favorite products. These pages are accessed through links that appear at the upper left corner of most site pages:
Comparisons
Customers specify products for comparison by selecting Add to Comparisons from the More Actions dropdown on product detail pages. The items selected are tracked using the /atg/commerce/catalog/comparison/ProductList component, as described in the ATG Commerce Programming Guide. Clicking the Comparisons link found at the top of most pages displays the /browse/productComparisons.jsp page, which renders a table with a column for each product. The rows contain information such as product descriptions, available colors and sizes, etc.
Gift Lists and My Favorites
ATG Store allows customers to create any number of gift lists, so that different lists can be created for different events. In addition, each customer has a single wish list called My Favorites. The products on the gift lists and the My Favorites list are tracked using the /atg/commerce/gifts/Giftlists repository, as described in the ATG Commerce Programming Guide. A customer can add a product to any of these lists using options on the More Actions dropdown on the product detail page.
For more information about gift lists in ATG Store, see the Personalization chapter.
