Sometimes when you look at your results in ALQEN, you might see a "-" in some of the boxes. Here's what that means and why it happens:

What "-" Means

When you see a "-", it means ALQEN doesn't have that piece of information for that product right now.


Why This Happens

There are a few reasons why you might see a "-":

  1. Hard-to-Get Information:

    • Sometimes, certain information about a product is hard to find or collect.

    • ALQEN tries to get all the information it can, but sometimes it's just not available.

  2. ALQEN is Updating:

    • Sometimes ALQEN needs to update its system.

    • While it's updating, some information might not show up for a short time.


What You Can Do

If you see a lot of "-" marks and it's making it hard to decide about a product:

  • You can wait a little while and check again later.

  • The information might show up after ALQEN finishes updating.
