How to subscribe and add components from the catalog?

    Manually updating your component library based on the supplier's catalog can be time-consuming. With the new catalog collection, you'll have access to the up-to-date components from wholesalers, suppliers or manufacturers, without the need for manual updates. 

    How to Subscribe to a Catalog

    1. Log in to Eturnity Expert.
    2. Navigate to Settings under Partner system. 
    3. Activate the catalog collection by clicking Subscribe. 
    4. Choose to either select individual components or add all components from the catalog to your library. It is recommended to select individual components to include only those you actually need.  
    5. Your request for catalog activation may be authenticated by the wholesaler. If not, the status will be set directly to Active / Automatic. If confirmation is required, the status of your subscription will be set to Active / Automatic after successful authentication."

    Adding Components from a Catalog

    1. With an active catalog subscription, navigate to the three-dot menu and select Add components to Library. 
    2. You will be redirected to a view of the catalog components based on the last update by the wholesaler, supplier or manufacturer.
    3. Some components may already be available in your library. To determine availability, main components are compared by name, while other components are compared by Supplier & Article number.
    4. Use the search and filter options to find specific components.                                                 
    5. Add components to your library. Click Add to Library button individually or use the bulk action option. 
    6. If the components already exist, then those will be synced from the catalog. If not, those will be added to your library and synced from the catalog. 

    Checking your Updated Library

    • After a component update, you will receive an email with a report in Excel format. The status column will display the updates made to each component.
    • In Library > Components, when you open a component, you will see that it is associated with a catalog. Additionally, the Internal item number, Description, Supplier & Article Number are updated based on the catalog. 


    Customizing your Component Information

    • If you prefer to receive price updates from a different supplier, change the supplier and then disable the Sync Supplier & Article Number from Catalog toggle.
    • If you have a custom description for a component, enter it in the Description field and then disable the Sync Description from Catalog toggle.  


    Handling Updates from New Catalog Versions

    • When a new version of the catalog is published and your library components are updated, you will receive and email with a report in Excel format.
    • If a component in your Library or a project's Bill of Materials has been removed in the catalog, a teal dot will appear next to it, indicating that it has been removed. If a component has been removed, it usually means that the component is no longer available and cannot be ordered.
