New Feature: Product Lists

This time we’re looking at a new feature that will inform change alerts for Caterers and Wholesalers - Product Lists.

What is the new Product Lists feature?

The new Product Lists feature allows users to create lists of products on Erudus that are of interest to them. This will give them faster, easier access to the data for these products - whether that is viewing the spec online or taking the data offline with a CSV export. Additionally, from 8th January, Erudus users can enable their settings to get change alerts for products that are in a list.

Why have we introduced Product Lists?

Erudus are introducing Product Lists in order to give our users more flexibility in cataloguing the products that are of interest to them, in addition to making data relevant to the individual user more easily accessible. This feature also powers change alerts for Caterers - where there is not a purchase history available In Erudus from their Wholesaler.

Caterer users are encouraged to use both Product Change Alerts and Product Lists. When changes (such as new ingredients) are made to products that Caterers are preparing and serving to consumers, compiling these products in a list and signing up for Product Alerts regarding the products on the list is the only way to be informed of these changes.

Wholesalers will receive alerts if they have a local code linked to a product.

How do Erudus users create Product Lists?

To create a Product List users should follow the below steps:

1. Click on your “Profile Options” dropdown menu at the top right of the screen and select “Product Lists".

2. Use the text box at the top of the screen to type in the name of your list, and click the green tick button to create your Product List.

3. Your list is now created, and ready to begin having products added to it.

How do you use a Product List?

You can add products of interest to your lists directly via the product specification.

Click on the 'Heart Icon' to bring up your list of lists, then add the product to the list(s) of your choosing.

Add the product to the list(s) of your choosing by using the 'Toggle'button

Once lists have been populated, you can navigate to them by using the “Profile Options” dropdown at the top right of the page, and clicking on the “Product Lists” option. This will bring up your list of lists, where you can download CSV exports of the data for all the products in a particular list, or view products in a list using the Erudus portal.
