Carts can be created and saved as necessary. It is good practice to rename a cart with a meaningful name. It will make future searches much easier.

## Process Steps

### Locating Draft Carts / Assigned Carts

1. To view your shopping carts, use the icons on the left and go to** Shop > My Carts and Orders > View Carts**.

2. On the Cart Management page, there are two tabs representing different types of carts:
  1. **Draft Carts— **lists carts that you created but have not assigned to a Requester yet, and carts returned to you either by an Approver or the system itself. Click on the Action dropdown (located to the right of the cart) to **View, Activate**, or **Delete** the cart.
  2. **Assigned Carts**— lists carts that you assigned to a Requester or another user, but the Requester has not submitted yet. Once the Requester places the order, the cart will be removed from your list.

### Renaming and Saving a Cart to Drafts

By default, carts will be named by Date, User’s NetID, and sequence number. For example: 2018-06-05 ras16111 01. While viewing your shopping cart, you can rename it under **Name this cart**. This will save automatically. This will then be added to your **Drafts**.

### Creating New Carts

After either assigning a cart, or placing and order, HuskyBuy will automatically create a new cart. Alternatively, you can click on the Create New Cart button under the **Shopping Cart** link/dropdown menu to start a new cart.

### Assign Cart Substitute

If you will be out of the office for a period of time, you may want to have any carts that would normally be assigned to you, be automatically forwarded and assigned to a delegate or substitute. 

> 📝 It is important to note that only you can add and remove your own substitute.

1. Navigate to your** Cart Management** screen
2. **Shop menu > My Carts and Orders > View Carts**
