Inventory Searches

On your Inventory ↗️, directly under the navigation main bar, there are one or more non-clickable gray buttons indicating the main search criteria applied currently to the inventory. By default, this criteria is defined when the user contracts the system and it is called System Search.

Any listing that fits this search criteria that is within your territory will be displayed below.

Users can have additional searches, always using a criteria that won't exceed the parameters of the System Search. If the new search is made outside these parameters, it won't return any results.

For example:

if the System Search looks for vehicles with years between 2008 and 2014, a new search couldn't request for vehicles from the 2006
Users won't be able to search for Vehicles Makes that where excluded on the System Search.

To add an additional search (called Manual Search) you need to:

Click on the arrow located right next to Inventory on the Navigation Bar
Select the option 🔍All Searches
Click on the ➕ from the Inventory Settings - Searches section
Complete all the fields needed
Click on the Save button

While creating a new search, the first parameter requested is the Inventory type. The options given on this section are:

All - This option will allow the user to create a search for the system listings database using predefined parameters (Make, year, price range, etc.)
Opportunities - This option will allow the user to get information from an external provider like Autotrader, Kelly Blue Book, etc. The user should contact their Acuisition in order to setup the parameters for this option to work properly.
Acquisitions - This option is not a search but a view that shows all the vehicles that have been acquired
vAuto Opportunities - This option will allow the user to get information from the external provider vAuto. Learn more about this here
Live Scrapping Opportunities - This option has been deprecated and is soon to be eliminated from the system

Once created a new search, it could be edited or deleted from the same place it was created.

Adjustment to the System Search criteria, only can be made contacting the account's Acquisition Coach by sending an email with the requested edits.

The Acquisition Coach is also able to filter out specific makes, models and descriptive keywords, improving the criteria according to the user's specific needs.
