How to Filter the SuperBuy Spreadsheet: A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to leverage filters for a perfectly organized haul. We'll focus on the three most useful sorting methods.
1. Sorting by Order Date
This helps you prioritize older orders and track your purchasing timeline.
- Locate the column header for "Order Date""Purchased On".
- Click the filter icon (usually a small downward arrow or funnel) in that column's header.
- Select "Sort Oldest to Newest"
- Alternatively, choose "Sort Newest to Oldest"
2. Sorting by QC Status
This is crucial for managing the quality control process.
- Find the column labeled "QC Status", "Status", or similar.
- Click the filter icon in that column.
- You will see a list of statuses like: "Pending QC," "QC Available," "Received," "Shipped to Warehouse."
- Deselect "Select All""Pending QC""QC Available". This will hide all other rows, showing only items that require your immediate attention for quality check photos or approval.
3. Sorting by Item Category
Grouping by type aids in planning strategic parcels (e.g., splitting haul by clothing, electronics, shoes).
- Identify the column where you (or your agent) have noted the category
- Click the filter icon on the category column.
- To see all items of one type, uncheck "Select All" and then check only the relevant category, like "Shoes."
- This filtered view lets you easily calculate the total weight and cost of all shoes, making it simple to decide if they should ship together.
