Statuses

Statuses help you track where each item is in your workflow, from acquisition to sale.

Overview

A status represents a stage in your process:

• Received
• Cleaning
• Photography
• Listed
• Sold
• Shipped

Customize statuses to match how you actually work.

Designing Your Workflow

Think about your actual process:

4. Photography
5. Listing Draft
6. Listed

Choosing Colors

Use colors meaningfully:

• Gray - Initial stages (Received)
• Blue - In progress (Processing, Testing)
• Yellow - Attention needed (Needs Photos)
• Green - Positive (Listed, Sold)
• Purple - Final stages (Shipped)

Organizing Statuses

Sort Order

Arrange statuses in workflow order:

1. First status = start of process
2. Last status = end of process
3. Drag to reorder

Grouping

Consider grouping related statuses:

• Pre-listing statuses
• Active statuses
• Completed statuses

Using Statuses Effectively

Update Promptly

Change status as soon as work is done:

• Finished cleaning? Update to next status
• Listed the item? Mark as Listed
• Shipped? Update immediately

Filter by Status

Use status filters to:

• See what needs work
• Find items ready to list
• Track shipped items

Batch Processing

Work on items with the same status:

• Clean all "Received" items at once
• Photograph all "Ready for Photos" items
• List all "Ready to List" items

Best Practices

1. Keep it simple - Don't create too many statuses
2. Match reality - Statuses should reflect your actual workflow
3. Update consistently - Always keep statuses current
4. Use colors - Make important statuses stand out
5. Review periodically - Adjust statuses as your process evolves
