January 2022 - Release 20220107
These updates are currently scheduled to be released on January 7th, 2022
Enhancements
Expanded product descriptions
Product headings now have a new 'help' icon which, when hovered over, will display extended product information for that product type
Product Aliases
We have added in a large number of product name 'Aliases' to help in the searching for product within autoecat. These are common name aliases for the product classifications used within the non-application catalogue. Some examples are:
- Outdoor Chair - Can now be found via 'Camping Chair' or 'Folding Chair'
- Disposable / Nitrile Gloves - Can be found via 'Surgical Gloves'
- Stabilizer bar - Can be found via 'Sway Bar'
- Park Assist Camera - Can be found via 'Back up Camera'
- Cable Tie - Can be found via 'Tie Strap', 'Tie Wrap', 'Zip Tie'
- Wheel - Can be found via 'Rim'
These aliases will be considered when looking product up in the non-application catalogue:
as well as when searching for products via the autoecat 'multiples' screen keyword search
With these new aliases, we hope that users are able to find their desired products easier by using more common terms to describe them.
Bug Fixes
Warehouse Onhand
We fixed a bug wherein the warehouse availability was not showing for non-stocking, warehouse only, items.
Vehicle Subgroups in Application Listings
A number of vehicle listings were showing an incomplete list of submodels which the part would fit. A number of these instances have been handled and are being addressed ongoing.
Warehouse Pricing Display
For autoecat counter users, the pricing returned by the warehouse lookup was not properly resolving to 2 decimal places for parts with a price ending in zero. This has been fixed.
Customer Pricing in Warehouse Lookup
Bug had been reported that the decimal places were off in the warehouse lookup launched from the part search screen. Customer price was showing with the decimal place moved to the left one number. This has been resolved.
