A growing number of software providers now support a direct connection to the 2BA Unifeed. This Unifeed integration gives the user the option to search within the 2BA data pool from their own software and directly transfer one or more selected items to the calculation, quotation or drawing process, among other possibilities.
Optimization of search results
The search results obtained and their sorting depend on various factors. Based on various use cases, the search result sorting algorithm has recently been adjusted to make it even easier to find what you are looking for. In addition to the specified search criteria and any enabled filter(s), the data richness now determines the order of the result.
Result sorting
The sorting of the search results is determined, amongst other things, by:
- Product relevance
Does the product contain related items or not?
Primary status code – regular, incoming and outgoing - ETIM Classification
Is the product classified in an ETIM product class?
Does the product feature one or more ETIM characteristic values? - Attachments
Does the product have a product image attachment? - GLN status
Is the data status current in accordance with the agreed delivery frequency?
In addition, the position of and number of times the specific search criteria are found will now play an important role.
