Managing Your Shopping Cart
Servigistics InService lets you have as many shopping carts as you need to get the job done. One cart is your active cart. When you add a part to a shopping cart, that part is always added to the active cart. If you do not currently have a cart, one is automatically created for you when you add a part to the cart. If you do not order the current active cart, that cart remains your active one the next time you log in to the system.
Your carts are always available from the Select a cart option at the top of the page:
If you do not have any shopping carts or do not want any existing carts to be the active cart, click on the option and select Add a new cart to create a new active cart. If you want to use an existing cart as the active cart, select that cart in the option. If you do have an active cart, that cart appears in the option:
In this case, you can click on the arrow in the option to either select another cart to be the active cart or to create a new active cart.
When your cart has items in it, the number of items is displayed in the icon
