My Favorites

Your Favorite Products (formerly called Product Shelf) allows you to create and maintain a personalized "list" of commonly referenced products, including package size and quantity, from which you may quickly place orders. Anyone who is a registered user may create a Favorite Products list. You can maintain your list by selecting the "View Favorite Products" link found on the Order Center and in the header on most of our site as the   icon.

Each product number in your list is a link to the product detail page for that item. That page provides access to extended product information, related documents and real-time pricing and availability.

Creating your Favorite Products list:

1. Begin by searching the catalog using the Sigma-Aldrich site search or proceed to the product table of choice from within the Virtual Stockroom.
2. Once you have identified a product of interest, click on the Product Number and the screen will display any product information related to the item. If you are a registered user and you are logged in, package sizes and pricing will appear for the product.
3. Enter a quantity in the "Quantity" field with the number of pack sizes you would like to add to your list.
4. Click on the "Add to Favorites" icon located next to each package size you wish to add to your list. For a new search, click the Search Center link on the top banner of our site.
5. You may also add items to your Favorite Products list from the Shopping Cart. Again, just click on the "Add to Favorites" icon, , shown for each line item.
6. To view your list, click on the "View Favorite Products" link.

If you have a long list of favorite products, there are some capabilities that will allow you to find items in that list a bit easier.

Sorting Products within your list(s):

Three of the column labels (Brand, Product Number and Description) are links that allow you to sort the list(s). Click on the column header once to sort the list in ascending order and a second time for descending order. Note that sorting on the description is based only on text so product names starting with numbers will appear first in an ascending list.

Organizing your list(s) using folders:

Creating Folders: 
To create a new folder and begin organizing your favorites follow these steps:

1. Scroll to the bottom of the "Your Favorites" page and enter the name of the folder in the text box labeled "New Folder Name".
2. Click the "Add New Folder" button. The new folder should be displayed
3. Repeat the process to create as many folders as you need.

Note: All folders will display either a plus or minus symbol. Clicking on the folder will either expand (+) or collapse (-) the list of products in that folder. 

Adding Items to Folders: 
When you add items to your list from elsewhere in the site, the default location is the main "Favorite Products" folder. To move products from the main folder to another, perform the following steps:

1. Click the box in the "Select" column to the left of each item you want to add to a folder.
2. At the top of the page, select the destination folder name from the drop-down box.
3. Click the "Copy Selected To..." button to move the selected product to the folder name that you chose.
4. The copied items remain selected in case you want to delete them from the original folder. If so, click on "Delete Selected" to complete the process.

Deleting Folders: 
Your need for certain products, or groups of products, may change over time. Deleting individual products is done simply by selecting the product and clicking the "Delete Selected" button. If you need to delete entire folders of products, use the following steps:

1. Click the box in the "Select" column that is labeled "All products in this folder".
2. Click on "Delete Selected" to delete the folder and ill items that were in it.

Note: Performing these steps for the main "Favorite Products" folder will result in all the items being deleted but the folder will remain.

Ordering from a previously created Favorite Products list:

NOTE: You cannot place an order from your Favorite Products list unless you have first created one. To create your Favorite Products list, follow the instructions above

1. Click the "Favorite Products" link in the Order Center to take you to your list.
2. If needed, you can change the quantity at this time.
3. Select the products to order by clicking in the box next to the item you wish to order and click the "Add to Cart" link.
4. After selecting the products you wish to order, click the "View Cart" link and you will be brought to your Shopping Cart where you can continue to shop or submit your order.
