View Informational Catalogs During Shopping

You can now view informational catalogs in the Redwood Self Service Procurement application. You can access the informational catalogs during the shopping search when your search matches its name, description, category, or keywords specified in the Informational Catalog configuration.

View Informational Catalogs in Search Results

These catalogs, established by the Catalog Administrator, include policies and instructions to enhance your shopping experience. They can also serve as guidelines for employees on how to order products.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Offering: Procurement

If you want to use the View Informational Catalogs During Shopping feature, then you must opt in to one or both of these features:

• Enable the Redwood Version as the Default Self Service Procurement Application: Makes the Purchase Requisitions (New) work area available to all your users and hides the Purchase Requisitions work area from all your users.
• Procure Goods and Services Using the Redwood Self Service Procurement Application: Keeps the Purchase Requisitions work area available to all your users and makes the Purchase Requisitions (New) work area available to the users who are assigned this privilege: Manage Requisition with the Responsive Self Service Procurement Application (POR_MANAGE_REQ_WITH_PWA_PRIV).

If you’ve already opted in, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Tips And Considerations

• When you have access to only the informational catalog within a featured category, you will be directly taken to the link configured for the catalog. This link opens in a new browser tab.
• After creating an informational catalog, administrators must associate it with content zones to make it available to users with the privilege to search catalog items.
• Like punchout catalogs, informational catalogs can optionally be associated with categories to be available when browsing catalog content.
