Display Results Alphabetically When Shopping Using Featured Categories

Display results alphabetically when shopping using featured categories in the Redwood Self Service Procurement application. The results may consist of local catalog content, smart forms, and punchout catalogs or informational catalogs.

The sort order applies when viewing results using either the Card view or the Table view. If you switch to the Shop by Category feature to select a different category, the results will continue to display in alphabetical order.

For example, these screenshots show the drill down from the category titled 'Monitors', which displays the matching results sorted alphabetically.

If you have several items within featured categories, alphabetically sorted results help improve the user experience and help them access the information quickly.

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 Display Results Alphabetically When Shopping Using Featured Categories 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 Redwood 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

If you further refine user search using a keyword, the ensuing results are no longer sorted alphabetically. Instead, they will revert to being sorted by relevance.

Key Resources

If you are enabling the Redwood Self Service Procurement application for the first time, then you must set up the Elastic Search to see the featured categories and matching catalog results within the categories.
