Owned by Leon Lu
Last updated: Dec 20, 2018 by Sandra Petrovic

Usually when users enter styles into the system they like to group similar styles in a collection, also known as a line. For example, 2016 Winter - Block Colors.

Step-by-step guide

1. Select Product Search 


2. Click New Line button at the top of the screen


3. A pop up window will open. You need to fill in text boxes with information about the line you're creating.


Please follow the below details as a guide, if you get stuck please contact an Indigo8 Representative:

Enter Line Prefix: This is typically an abbreviation of your season & your brand. If you are selling multiple brands it is a good idea to give your brand an abbreviation mixed in with the season that you're currently working on.

For example, say I am creating a collection for Spring Summer 2019 for Sandra Breeze. Therefore my prefix could look something like SB SS19. 

Line Description: This gives a long name to your collection. If you name your collections this is a place to enter that in. For example if your collection is called Mesmerise or Spring Summer 2019.

Or Choose Line: This option allows you to add more items to your collection AFTER your collection has been created. More on that below.

Customer/Supplier: You can add these both on the fly. Depending on your business, a customer is typically used to define the creator of the goods. This is normally your business trading name. 

A supplier is typically used when you are selling third party product such as Converse Shoes or Jbrand Jeans, you would select this as a supplier. Please note, this is a suggestion & if you have been told of a process to use please follow that. 

You should be able to select your options. Select the appropriate option.

 



Season: Enter the season the styles belong to.

Product: You can leave this blank when you're first setting up your collection. Once the collection has been created you can then define the product category.   

Division: This is defines how many brands your business sells.Normally this is a sub-brand, please select the appropriate division/brand.

Designer: This is normally the staff member who has created the products. Not a mandatory field.

Size Range: If you can leave this blank if you have a collection with multi size ranges on it. Otherwise you can select one size range which will update all styles. 

Number of Items: How many styles you wish to create. Please note, you can always add / remove later if required. 

Delivery Window: This is the delivery window in which you sell. The date that appears against the style will automatically appear on the sales order. This is not a mandatory field.

Add Default/Fabric, colour & size: We have an option to automatically pull a default fabric, colour & also size range. Speak to an Indigo8 Member to help you set this up if you want this option.
