Question & Answers
Q: When should I search for parts using the Main Navigation Bar Part Research link rather than the Part Research link found in the Global Navigation Bar found on the bottom left corner?
A: Although both search function provide the same information set, we suggest leveraging the Part Research link from the Main Navigation Bar when searching for part details as your main objective not as part of a workflow such as creating a sales order for example. Why? Because although the data is the same, researching using this link allows the part details to consume the entirety of your browser and therefore breaks the flow of your process if currently in one.
