How-to: Parametric Search

To do a parametric search, follow these steps:

• Log in and go to Products.

• Click on the Sort & Filter button. Once clicked, it will expand the selection.

• Click on Advanced Filters.

• Click on Attributes on the pop-up window and select an attribute (e.g. GTIN).

• After selecting an attribute, the attribute options will appear on the right. Click on the first drop-down list (the Contains drop-down list) and select the appropriate condition.

• After selecting and defining a condition (e.g. Is Empty), click on the Apply button.

• Wait for the results to be displayed based on the search criteria. The search criteria can be found in the Applied Filter section as shown.

• For an improved and more refined search, use multiple properties (attributes/tags).

Note: Multiple criteria can be applied for a single property as well as using an “OR” operation.
