There are many ways you can manage your search results in ESP Web.
How to Mark Products
Marking products means you are selecting them so that they can be held on the Clipboard, added to a presentation, saved in a project or sent directly to customers.
- From the List View:
- From the Grid View:
- From the Image View:
After marking products, the Marked Products Toolbar will appear
Options for Marked Products
After marking a product, a toolbar will appear which will enable you to manage the product. The available options are:
- Create Presentation: Create a new presentation using the marked product(s).
- Send: Send the selected product(s) via email with a PDF attachment. This option also enables you to download or print a PDF containing the marked items.
- Copy To: Move the marked item(s) onto the Clipboard or into a Project folder.
- Compare: Add the marked product(s) to the Product Compare ribbon.
Note: Marked products will carry through to all of the views. This means you can mark an item, view more information about it, and then return to the results without having to remark items.
