In this article I will go over some of the new features in pricing. We wanted to leave the pricing as easy to use as the previous pricing, but also wanted to add functionality that would allow users to get a little more information, if they desired.
The first thing you may notice is that everything is on one page. We believe you will find that staying on one page will make pricing feel more like a desktop application and therefore making the user experience more comfortable. You will find small, info icons located on the page. Hovering over these icons will give the user more information about that section of pricing.
Searching for parts is still simple. You can enter in a complete Lyn-Tron Part ID or a partial Part ID. Searching for ST9412-00 will return one result. Once you have your result(s) you may then click details. Clicking on details will then display the pricing matrix (based on the quantity requested), availability of the part(based on the quantity requested), and some other miscellaneous info about the part. This would be considered a pretty straightforward search. The new page will allow a couple other ways to search. Lets say you want to search for an aluminum round standoff. You could search for something like AL5071-3050-03.0-00, that will return one part. You can modify that search to return all thread sizes by searching for AL5071-____-03.0-00. Each underscore is a wild card. This will return all 6mm round aluminum standoffs with a length of 3mm. If you were to leave the material code off the front like so 5071-3050-03.0-00, you are now searching for all materials.
Hope you have enjoyed this brief introduction to the new Lyn-Tron pricing page. Check back soon for more tutorials.
