* Smart Workflow Features

Using Order Tools

Inside a job, there are a few order tools available to assist with your workflow:

Order Tool

Details

Assign Images

Applies images to all pre-orders based on various conditions:

  • Checks ordered My Design template requirements.

  • Checks ordered product's allowed image type requirements from the price sheet at time of order.

  • Assigns Primary Images for individual units with no superseding requirements.

  • If none of the requirements above are met, the order will need to be manually edited to assign images.

Assign Orders

Uses the collected custom form data on your pre-orders to match and assign orders to subjects.

Bulk Add Orders

Create an order for all subjects or filtered subjects.


Managing Orders

By default, placed orders automatically release to the lab unless your job settings are configured to hold order fulfillment until manual release. Orders that are held until manual release give the studio an opportunity to QA (edit) orders at the cost of automation speed. Held orders can also be bulked together and sent to the lab as a batch order.

Edit Orders

Only orders that have not been released can be edited.

Orders cannot be edited to:

  • Change the order total (add/remove products/services)

  • Change the fulfillment of the order (fulfillment method locked once order is placed)

Orders can be edited to:

  • Update the billing/shipping address.

  • Edit packages/products ordered

    • Edit pose selected.

    • Edit background selected.

    • Edit applied crop.

    • Edit applied image filter (B&W, Sepia, None)

    • Reset Image Service (for restarting/reapplying image service)

Select the checkbox next to an order number and select edit order:

Cancel Orders

There are generally two reasons why a studio would want to cancel an order:

  1. Customer requested a refund/cancel of their order that has been approved.

  2. Customer made an error with an unreleased order that cannot be corrected.

In scenario 1, refunding the order in Blueprint gives the user the option to cancel the order.

In scenario 2, reach out to the Support Team for assistance with canceling the order.

Release Orders

Orders can only be released inside of the job they were placed in.

Releasing a single order

Select the checkbox next to an order number and select release order:

You can also select and release multiple orders at once.

Releasing all orders

Select the Release All Orders button in the top-right corner. This will release all orders in the job without a release date:

Using either method, the new few prompts in the release wizard will ask the user to confirm any release options to specific to each ordered lab service - then submit them to the lab for processing. Any ordered self-fulfilled image services released will be available in the Fulfillment tab to complete before the order will appear at the lab for printing.

Export Orders

Click on the Export button to open the Export Wizard. You'll be prompted to enter a save location and choose between a single-row and multi-row export. 

Single-Row: Exports orders in one line per order. Includes the Job Name & ID, reference ID of the Packages and Products ordered, and customer information. Great for financial reports and audits.

Multi-Row: Exports orders one line per product. This is great for proofing orders in which you need the image name and which products the image is ordered on.

Perfect to import into FLOW!

The next screen lets you specify which orders to export. You can filter between specific statuses of orders (like New, Processed, or Shipped) or by Job ID, Pay Date, or a Customer's Name.

Choose the configurations desired for your export and you'll be notified when the .csv file is created.
