The Designs page lists the designs in the selected store, with their status and reference ID. Archived designs are hidden until Show archived is turned on.
Finding a design
Long lists are paged. Searching by design name, internal reference ID, or notes is faster than paging where the shop produces many jobs.
Setting a reference ID when a design is created is what makes it findable later by work order.
Statuses
Each design carries a status from the store's pipeline. Statuses are configured in Store Settings, so they can be renamed and reordered to match how the shop actually works.
Opening a design
Selecting a design opens its overview, which holds the data table, attached documents, and a link into the Plate Editor. The Bed Editor is reached from the Plate Editor, using Move to Bed.
Duplicating a design
A design can be cloned, producing a copy with its own name, reference ID, and status. The plate design, bed layout, data tables, and documents all carry over.
Cloning suits a repeat order for a different guest list. Where a layout will be reused often, saving it as a template is the better route. See Templates.
Deleting a design
Deleting requires manager permission on Designs and is permanent.
Archiving rather than deleting preserves the exact settings for a future reorder, which is worth doing for anything likely to repeat.
