Using the catalog search

This procedure describes the process for using the catalog search. A search can be as specific as an item number, or as generic as a measurement in a description field.

  1. Select the RSS Home page.
  2. In the catalog search field, specify the string of characters.
    • Type ahead:
      After you specify the first three characters of a search string, all of the keywords that match the string and are displayed.
      Note: The Type Ahead feature must be enabled.
    • Simple search:

      Catalog search can be used to search the enabled origin fields and displays the results that match the string that is specified.

  3. Specify a string of characters. An exact match is attempted.
  4. Specify the search query.

    To search for a full keyword in the search field, specify a word.

  5. Press Enter on your keyboard. Your search results are displayed.
  6. Click the Add to Request button to add the item to the requisition.
    To add multiple items to the requisition, select the check box for each item and click the Add to Request button.
  7. Click Submit Request to advance the requisition to the next processing stage.
