APS Digital Catalogue Instructions

This is a short guide on how to use the APS Digital Catalogue

NAVIGATION

There are two main types of navigational links throughout the APS Digital Catalogue. They are internal links, which are links that allow you to navigate inside the catalogue and are used for index pages. The other being external links, which navigate away from the catalogue to our APS global website.
 
Each of these links (both internal and external) are represented as shaded boxes and is revealed on page refresh, page turn, or mouse hover-over. For example, when you navigate between pages, all these boxes will fade in and out showing you all the link locations at a glance. When you hover over a link, the link box will fade back in and the mouse will turn from an arrow to a hand pointer.

Internal Links

Menu Links

There are three locations for internal menu links throughout the catalogue, including:
  • Front Cover
  • Main Index Page (page 5)
  • Category Index Pages

Front Cover

The main category title links (e.g. Mobile Equipment Lighting) allows you to navigate straight to the top-level category pages of the catalogue. Similarly, clicking the secondary category title or icon (e.g. Ultrasonic) will take you to the sub-category pages.

Main Index Page

This has a link navigation structure similar to the front cover, however it goes into more detail with some of the sub-categories.
You can click on any of these elements below:

  • Main title categories
  • Sub-category titles or icons
  • Second level of sub-categories (where applicable)
  • Page numbers

Category Index Pages

The digital catalogue contains category index pages, which include product comparison tables.  Clicking the thumbnail photo will take you to the product page within the catalogue. 

External Links

Whilst internal links via the front cover and menu links allow you to navigate throughout the digital catalogue, you can also navigate externally to the APS website to learn more about a product. We have also integrated product links to go the APS website enquiry system so you can request one of our friendly APS sales team to contact you.

Product Links to APS Website

When viewing product pages within the digital catalogue, clicking either the product title (e.g. Alpha 175 LED) or the main product photo will open a new window (or tab) to the product on the APS website.

Enquiry Links

Each product in the digital catalogue has its own Parts table. We have integrated the product part numbers (i.e. under Part No.) as links to the APS website enquiry system. Simply click the part number and it will automatically add it to the enquiry cart. You can then go back to the digital catalogue if you want to add more products to enquiry, or remove products already in your enquiry cart.
