How You Browse Catalogs by Category

When creating a requisition, there are multiple ways you can search for items in the catalog. One way is to browse for items by category.

How You Browse by Category

When you enter simple search criteria from the Requisitions page, the search results appear in a list from which you can sort, compare, add to your shopping list, or add to your requisition. For example if you search for pens your search will yield a list of pens that are available in the catalog.

Alternatively, you can search for pens using a category search. For example, in the Shop by Category region on the Requisitions page, you can click on the link for the category Office Supplies. The search results will yield a list of all office supplies in the catalog. You can then drill down the category hierarchy from the top level category Office Supplies selected on the Requisitions page. For example, the figure below shows a scenario in which, if you were shopping for pens, you would click on the Office Supplies category and then drill down using the Pens and Pencils category.
