This video covers the basics of our
improved Item Compare feature.
Looking to identify the differences between up to 4 parts?
The compare feature on the Automann website
makes it easy to do just that.
Anywhere a product is listed, click on
the compare icon, which looks like a scale.
We'll start with the A85000 Shock Absorber.
Once you've clicked on the compare link,
you'll see it added to the bottom of your page as a thumbnail.
Add other parts you would like as well, to your list.
Once you've added them, click on the blue
compare button in the footer block.
This will take you to the compare table.
The table has multiple rows and allows
for up to four products to be compared.
The first row contains a multi arrow tool
and a checkbox. The multi arrow tool
allows you to drag and drop the order of
these items. So if you want a part to be
listed 1st and it's currently in the
fourth column, you can simply move it
over and drop it there.
The compare table shows you a full list
of data elements when available such as
SKU, Product Name, Price,
Descripcion, Weight, specific Product
Attributes, Reference Numbers,
Parcel Grouping, Applications, as well as
many other important details relevant to the cart.
Now that you have your parts selected for
comparison, let's see how to highlight
the differences between them.
In the first row, you can select which
ones you want to highlight the differences between.
Let's say we want to compare
the differences between the first
column and the second column. Check the
box here under both columns. This will,
in turn, highlight the differences between
both in red using the left most selected
column as the basis of comparison. Or if
you want to compare columns 2 and three,
put check boxes next to both of those
columns. It will use the second column as
the basis product and will highlight the
differences, in red, with the part in the
third column. This again, is because it
uses the leftmost column as the part from
which to compare other parts.
Clicking the "Print this page" icon at the
top right of the screen will give you a
formatted print out of whatever parts
you've shown on this page. If you'd like
to just delete one of the columns, click
the "X" next to the image.
It will then ask you to confirm the removal.
In this instance, we will click yes and
then we will receive a notice message
confirming that the product was removed.
If you want to remove everything from
your compare list in order to start from
scratch, simply click the "Remove all products"
button on the top right next to
the "Print this page" button.
Or, if you want to find more information
on a specific part, click on the image
and you'll be taken away to that part's
Product Detail Page, which will provide
you full information about that part.
If you leave this page and want to return
to it at anytime, click on the Compare
link in the top Gray bar on any page and
you'll be returned to your compare list.
