Saving catalog items to a wish list

You can save catalog items to your wish list and visit them later to complete the ordering process.

For example, you need a laptop with specific software installed on it. Add the laptop to your wish list, then visit it when you have the complete software configuration list. Data you enter is saved when you add items to your wish list.

Users with catalog_admin or admin role can enable/disable the wish list feature and configure the wish list cart for end users. By default, the wish list is always disabled for a catalog.

To enable the wish list feature for catalog end users, select the check box for Enable Wish List in the catalog record.

The wish list feature does not function if the property glide.ui.doctype is set to false.

Note:

When the wish list feature is disabled for a catalog, any items in its wish list are deleted. The items in the wish list are retained only if the item is associated with another wish list-enabled catalog.

Working with wish lists

To save an item to your wish list, click Add to Wish List on the catalog item page. A pop-up dialog informs you that the item is added to your wish list. Duplicate entries of an item are not added to your wish list. If you try to add an item that is already in your wish list, the latest entry of that item gets updated in the wish list.

Figure 2. Wish list popup dialog

To access your wish list of catalog items, click View Wish List on the popup dialog. You can also click the link to wish list items on the header. The wish list cart allows you to update or delete wish list items.

To update a wish list item, go to wish list cart and click View for the item. Change the information, and then click Update to save the changes. To proceed with ordering the item, click Add to Cart. The item is removed from your wish list and added to the shopping cart for final checkout.
