MyCNBox: Advanced Column Customization for Power Users
While MyCNBox provides a robust default spreadsheet for package tracking, advanced users often need additional data fields to optimize their personal workflow. This guide will walk you through adding custom columns for seller performance metrics, weight tracking, and refund logs.
Why Customize Columns?
Standard shipping spreadsheets track basics like tracking numbers and status, but sophisticated users benefit from:
- Seller reputation assessment before purchasing
- Weight verification against claims
- Refund request tracking and history
- Custom data analysis and reporting
Adding Seller Score Columns
Create these columns to evaluate seller reliability:
| Column Name | Data Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Seller_Rating | Number (0-5) | Overall seller rating from platform |
| Positive_Feedback | Percentage | Seller's positive feedback percentage |
| Transaction_Count | Number | Total transactions completed by seller |
| Store_Age | Date/Number | How long seller has been operating |
Implementation Tips:
- Use data validation to restrict ratings to 0-5 scale
- Add conditional formatting to highlight sellers below your threshold
- Create calculated columns for overall seller score
Implementing Weight Tracking
Weight discrepancies often indicate problems. Track these metrics:
Essential Weight Columns:
- Claimed_Weight
- Actual_Weight
- Weight_Difference
- Weight_Unit
- Actual_Weight
Advanced Weight Analysis:
Add formulas to automatically flag discrepancies:
=IF(ABS([Weight_Difference])>[Threshold],"CHECK","OK")
This flags packages where weight difference exceeds your threshold.
Creating Refund Log Columns
Systematic refund tracking saves time and money:
| Column Group | Column Names | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Refund Request | Refund_Request_Date, Refund_Reason, Amount_Requested | Initial refund request details |
| Refund Status | Refund_Status, Status_Date, Last_Updated | Tracking current refund state |
| Resolution | Resolution_Date, Final_Amount, Resolution_Type | Final outcome and details |
| Communication | Refund_Notes, Support_Ticket, Followup_Date | Record of communications |
Integrating Into Your Workflow
Sorting and Filtering:
Create custom views to quickly access relevant data:
- High-risk purchases (low seller scores)
- Active refund requests
- Significant weight discrepancies
Automation Ideas:
- Color code rows based on seller rating thresholds
- Add reminder dates for follow-up on refund requests
- Create summary sheets with statistics on seller performance
