Creating new Vendors and Products using Wizard
Use this process if the vendor is already in our system but is missing a specific product.
Navigate to theWizard.
Type the Vendor Name into the search bar.
Click "Edit Vendor."
From the Edit Vendor menu on the right, choose one of two methods:
Method A (Manual): Click "New" next to the Products box.
Method B (Competitor Data): Scroll down and click "View Vendor Possible Products." Select the product from the dropdown if it appears (this is based on competitor listings).
Use this process if neither the vendor nor the product exists in our database.
Search & Verify: Type the Vendor Name or Domain into the search bar (always check both to avoid creating a duplicate).
Initialize: click "Create Vendor", if no match is found, click "New Vendor"
Fill Required Fields: Ensure the following fields are populated (search online if the Wizard hasn't auto-filled them):
Vendor Name
Webpage (URL)
LinkedIn Co. ID
Save: Click "Create Vendor."
Phase 3: Finalizing Product Details
Regardless of whether the vendor was new or existing, you will end up at the New Product menu.
Product Name: Enter the name (or verify it if auto-filled).
Primary Category: Select the most relevant category (Required).
Additional Categories: Add any other applicable categories to improve searchability.
Complete: Click "Create Product."
