Sales representatives have the option to add their own comparable titles directly on title detail pages. Learn how to add and remove rep comps from a title, and how to mark one as the primary comp.
Adding a rep comp
Rep-added comps are identified in the table with the rep symbol, and users can identify the rep by hovering over the symbol.
The rep comp is available to be viewed by all CataList account users. If no other comparable title has been flagged as the primary comp (see Starring a comparable title), the first rep comp in the list will be prioritized in the Comp 1 ISBN and Comp 1 Title columns for any users who have selected those columns in their grid view and export settings.
To add a comparable title
Click the Add comparable title button located below the comp title table and add your ISBN. Repeat the process to add more comparable titles to the table.
If you have access to SalesData, the in-line SalesData figures will automatically be returned for newly-added items.
To delete a comparable title
Click the red X in the far left column of the table.
Starring a comparable title
Any sales rep in your publisher account, for your own titles, can star a comp title. The star is applied at the title level (that is, not a the rep-per-title level). If you have multiple reps, you may want to internally manage which staff should be setting the starred comps for your titles.
The starred comp is available to be viewed by all CataList account users. If a buyer has not chosen another comp to be their store’s personal best comp, the starred comp will be prioritized into the Comp 1 ISBN and Comp 1 title columns for any users who have selected those columns in their grid view and export settings.
To star a title in the Comparable Titles list
Click the empty star icon next to the title you want to mark.
To remove a star from the Comparable Titles list
Click the star icon to change the status to deselected, or select the star on a different comp to change the starred comp to the new selection. The old selection will automatically be deselected.
