The Envision Web application is a faster, smarter client web interface for customers to use when accessing, updating or viewing their inventory.  Search features in the Envision Web application provide an easy way to search for inventory and request delivery/pickup as well as other services. 

After logging into the Envision Web application, customers can access the Search menu option right on the Home page.

From the Search bar, type in a search value to find results based on the selected Reference information in the drop down, or use the All option to search across all available reference fields.  Press the Search button to return the results. Searching across All reference fields is the default search option. Reference field value matches are highlighted in yellow.

Inventory searches can be performed across all customer accounts that the logged in user has access to, or restricted to a single customer account’s inventory by using the dropdown menu at the top right corner of the page, below the user’s name.

Wild card searches are also supported.  Use the % character to indicate a wildcard search.  The default search behavior is the search for matches that begin with the value entered (VALUE%). Using wildcard searches also allow for a search for inventory that ends with the value entered (%VALUE) or contains the value entered (%VALUE%).

Wildcard searches are supported when searching individual reference fields or when searching All reference fields.

PLEASE NOTE: Wildcard searches across All reference fields may result in a longer search time when compared with searches against a single reference field.  Also, wildcard searches for matches containing longer text values may take longer than wildcard searches for matches containing shorter text values.

The menu at the left of the results screen can be used to apply filters to the results to select inventory from a combination of inventory status (in/out), customers, departments, item types, etc.

Select which filters to apply or remove by clicking on the box at the left to check or uncheck the filter, respectively.

Use the action menu to select the appropriate action for the appropriate record in the search results.

PLEASE NOTE: Permissions granted to the web user, the settings for the item type in inventory, as well as the inventory status will determine which actions are available in the action menu for any record in the search results.

Send Offsite – Click on this option to add the item to the shopping cart as a request for pickup.
