Use the Buy Board

What you will accomplish

You will review the automotive acquisition analysis and distinguish historical evidence from a recommendation.

Who can do this

This Automotive guide applies when the workspace subscription includes Buy Board.

Before you start

Confirm the active rooftop and understand that available lanes depend on connected sales, inventory, and trade data.

Read the Buy Board

1. Open Views.
2. Select Buy Board in the Historical Deals section strip.
3. Confirm the active rooftop.
4. Confirm the date context.
5. Select the retail, trade, or recommendation view offered by the screen.
6. Read the lane label and supporting history.
7. Select an available row or group to inspect detail.
8. Compare the recommendation with current inventory and business judgment before acting.

Expected result: each lane or recommendation is grounded in available historical data for the current scope. It is not an instruction to purchase automatically.

Troubleshooting and recovery

• Buy Board is missing or locked: it is Automotive and feature-gated.
• A lane is empty: the current scope may lack enough eligible history.
• Mobile has less detail: mobile provides a preview; use the web surface for the full workflow.
