Overview
🎯 Objective
The flex listing feature is for those dealers that have a lot of the same exact year, manufacturer, make, and models available to display on their site, but they do not want to have their website users scrolling through multiple of the same RVs on a listing page. The dealers that would be interested in using this feature are larger dealers with multiple locations that carry many of the same models in stock at one time. We condense RVs that have the same year, manufacturer, make, and model into a single unit display on the listing page and include a number display on that unit display of how many of those exact RVs are available and what location that RV is located at the dealership

Goal | Metric |
|---|---|
For those dealers that have a high amount of inventory in stock and they want to condense the amount of inventory that displays on their website. Flex Listing will allow dealers to condense the amount of the same units in stock and show the variety of available inventory by not cluttering up the website with so many duplicate models. | Allows shoppers to more easily find units that the dealer has in stock without seeing the same unit multiple times on a listing page. |
⚙️ How Does it Work
On the listing pages within the dealers website, it groups units that have the same year, manufacturer, make, model, and type. When units that are the same get grouped together, there will be one main unit that gets displayed along with a multiple unit number display for how many of the same units are available and the location for each. The main unit is selected based on the lowest price of the unit, if units have both MSRP and Sale Price available, the system will pick the lowest priced unit based on the lowest price of all units that have the same year, manufacturer, make, model, and type.
...
The main unit CTA of the grouped units will work a little different than a single unit. Specifically, the GLP button display will match the typically GLP button text, but it does not work the same. On a single unit the GLP button will open up the GLP form in a lightbox. On the main unit of the grouped units, the GLP button is a graphical button that will look the same as the rest of the units, but when you click the GLP button it will open up the lightbox listing all the available units. In the lightbox there will be another GLP button that is tied to the specific unit, when that GLP button is clicked it will then open up the GLP form in a lightbox for that specific unit.

Make the "Starting at..." label so that it could be styled by the design team without dev team being involved. This way if a dealer wants to change the text from "Starting at.." they can it to what they want it to say. |

Open Questions
Question | Answer | Date Answered |
|---|---|---|
What pieces of this feature can be tailored for the dealer? | Currently no tailoring is offered to the client from the control of how flex listing works. Front End Developers may change what they can via CSS such as the “Starting At…” label on the listing page. | Jan 2023 |
Out of Scope
Each dealer will not be able to have their own way the tool works. Front end team can tailor the display of the feature on the listing pages, but how units get grouped, what gets displayed, and how the feature works will not be controllable by the dealers.

Ungrouping units at the same location as users are not able to click into all the grouped units. This is an issue with Used more than New because each Used unit should be able to be viewed by users. Can be issue if units have different prices on the same unit at the same location. | May 2023 |

This is due to the fact that the flex listing controls only allow specific default sort orders to be selected. Currently the only sort orders that can be used in conjunction with Flex Listing are “Condition” and “Year”. If the default sort order is set to anything else it will give the macro error. |
