Website users may create lists to save products they plan to purchase in the future or products they purchase frequently. These lists can be accessed on the website under My Account.

List settings

Allow Multiple Lists – If Yes, the website prompts users to choose a list or create a new one when adding a product to a list; users may copy lists; and a page with a summary of all user lists lives under My Account. If no, the user can only have one list and cannot copy or share it.

Allow List Sharing – If Yes, list owners can send a copy of their list to others or invite others to view or edit a list.

Products Per Page – The number of products to display per page on list details pages. You can set this number high to avoid pagination, but large lists may hurt performance. Default value: 30

Enable List Reminders – If Yes, customers can schedule a recurring reminder to reorder the list. Default value: No

Show Recently Purchased Items List – If Yes, users have a system-generated list with Recently Purchased Products. Default value: No

Note

Users cannot edit this auto-generated list.

Recently Purchased Items Lookback Days – Determines how many days of data are retrieved for the recently purchased items list by default. Default value: 15

Click Add To Cart to add the selected items to the cart, or Delete to delete the selected items. You should complete these actions before moving to another list page for any selected items, as they only apply to selections on the current page.

Use the Search bar to narrow list results by keyword or item number. This search filters the list to display matches for matches in the product number, product title. or manufacturer item fields. (This search does not use the full index to return results, so it does not include values in fields like part number.)

Click Delete to remove a discontinued product from a list. If there is a replacement product, click View Replacement Product to see the product and click Replace to replace it or click Cancel.

If a product has been deactivated or discontinued, a message notifies the user that the products have been removed from the list. If products are unavailable due to product restrictions set on the user's active customer, a notification displays and allows the user to select whether to remove the products.

Add products to the list from the Order Confirmation page

Users can add products to the list from the Order Confirmation page by clicking Add to List. Any products added from the Order Confirmation page then appear in the updated list.
