How do I create custom product catalogs for different purchasing roles within my company?

Our Custom Catalogs feature allows Administrators to create product catalogs customized at an enterprise level, company level or based on purchasing role or area of responsibility. The Custom Catalogs feature allows for greater customization of user and administrator access to account information as well as the ability to place orders based on purchasing roles and authorization levels.

The following rules may be applied individually or in combination to create a custom catalog:

Lock into Company Solutions — The catalog will be restricted to products which appear within Company Solutions as saved by the Other Feature Administrator.

Lock in Contract — The catalog will be restricted to products in a particular contract or group of contracts.

Enter Individual CDW Part Numbers — The catalog will be restricted to a list of manually-entered CDW Part Numbers (EDCs).

Enter Individual MFG Part Numbers — The catalog will be restricted to a list of manually-entered Manufacturer Part Numbers.

Lock in Purchase History — The catalog will be restricted to products that have been purchased previously by the company as listed in Purchase History.

Save Search Criteria — The catalog will be restricted to products listed in a search result for an Advanced Search query.
