Getting Started

Use the selection screen to select the Product Standard or Vendor that you want to search for. If you wish to select on Product Name in addition to the the Product Standard or Vendor , use the extended selection screen.

For example, if you want search through all vendors with registered products to see who has products registered against the Common Desktop Environment Product Standard, you would select that Product Standard from the first list, and "Any" from the next list (or lists in the case of the extended selection).

Next, you need to choose whether you want the list organized by Product Standard, by Vendor, or if the extended selection screen has been chosen by Product Name. This just defines how the results of your search will be sorted.

Next, you can elect to have a short description of each matching Conformance Statement displayed (only indicating the Product Standard, Vendor, and Product Name/Revision), or you can select a longer description (including essential technical information about each matching Conformance Statement).

When you have done all of this, press the "Search" button to have the system look up your choices.
