2: Using the Search Box
The “Search” box, located near the top of the screen, appears as a white empty box. Here is how to use this feature:
• Manually enter product/stock/SKU numbers into the search box that you want to generate cross matches for. If entering multiple numbers, they must be separated by a comma. You can enter an unlimited number of product numbers.
• Product numbers can be cut and pasted from a spreadsheet. If you choose this method, the tool automatically enters the commas.
• Product numbers/matches will be listed in the order entered in the search box.
• Every SKU is matched to three (3) cross matches as follows:
• 1. The Direct match is a CeraPlus™ option with similar product features. For example, if the initial SKU is a competitive or legacy product in flat, PS the search will return a match in CeraPlus™, flat, PS type if there is one available.
• 2. The Convex Preferred match is a CeraPlus™ Convex option with similar product features. For example, if the initial SKU is a flat, PS product, the search will return a match with as many like features as possible in a CeraPlus™ formulation with a Soft Convex barrier type.
• 3. The Clinically Preferred match is a CeraPlus™ Convex option in CTF for hospital formulary. For example, if the initial SKU is a flat, PS product, the search will return a product with similar product features in a CeraPlus™ formulation with Soft Convex barrier in CTF.
After the product numbers are populated in the “Search” box, click the “Search Button”. The Hollister product match(es) will appear in the “Results” box at the bottom of the screen.
3: Exporting Searches
If you would like to export the results of your search to an excel spreadsheet, click the “Export to Excel” red button which appears above the “Results” box on the right side.
4: Uploading a spreadsheet for a multiple product number searchLocated under the search box, the “Upload Excel Sheet” link allows you to find and upload a file on your computer. After the upload is complete, your Hollister matches should appear in the “Results” box. You can then export the results to an excel spreadsheet.
Note: The spreadsheet you are uploading should only have the product numbers you want matches for listed in the first column. There should be no other information on the spreadsheet as that impacts the functionality of the search.
5: Downloading an example spreadsheet
The “Download Example Excel Sheet” button is an example of what your spreadsheet should look like before uploading for a search.
