Display Types TYPE=list 'TYPE=list' creates a list of products. The default attributes in the list are product number, description, and unit price. The attributes listed can be changed by using the optional fields tag. The product number is a link to detailed information about the product. If there are options associated with the product, the product options icon will display under the product number. If an image is associated with the product, the camera icon also will display under the product number. If more than one product has the same product number, all products with that number will display. The 'Advanced Search' link displays in the upper left corner of the page. It opens a new window from which the buyer can select criteria and conduct an advanced search. An advanced search is a search within a product list. As the buyer enters more search criteria, the search narrows progressively. In other words, an advanced search queries the results that are returned from a preliminary search. Additional advanced searches query the results of previous advanced searches until the most specific results are returned. Please note: If you display more than one list of products on a single page, it is recommended that you suppress the advanced search functionality. Since the advanced search is progressive it uses data cached at the server which constrains the search to the last set of products returned. Therefore, although there is an advanced search link for each list, they are all constrained to the last list of products on the page. To suppress advanced search functionality, use the advancedsearch tag. The 'add to RFQ' link opens the RFQ and places that specific product in the RFQ. The 'add to cart' link opens the cart and places that specific product in the cart. Quote only products will not display the 'add to cart' link. To suppress the 'add to RFQ' and 'add to cart' links, use the optional Cartlink tag. By default, 20 products display on the page at once, and links to a list of the "Next" and "Previous" 20 display when appropriate. If more than one product has the same product number, all products with that number will display. To change the default product display of 20, use the optional number tag. You can use the record tag in place of the part tag to identify a unique item. Do not use both the part and record tags within the same Custom e-Catalog call.
