How to Set Up Automatic Sync in 3 Steps

Step 1: Prepare Your CNFANS Spreadsheet Structure

Ensure your spreadsheet has dedicated columns for Item SKU, Order Number, and most importantly, a "QC Photo Links"

Step 2: Generate & Share the Unique Upload Link

Within your CNFANS spreadsheet dashboard, click "Generate Photo Upload Link"

Step 3: Suppliers Upload & Automatic Row Matching

Your supplier simply drags-and-drops photos into the portal. The CNFANS system automatically matches each image to the correct row in your spreadsheet using the file names (e.g., SKU12345-blue-1.jpg) or metadata provided. Photos instantly appear as clickable thumbnails or links in the "QC Photo Links" column.

Best Practices for Flawless Execution

Standardize File Naming

Instruct suppliers to use a clear naming convention: [SKU]-[Color/Version]-[Sequence].jpg. This ensures flawless automatic matching.

Use the Mobile Dashboard

Open your CNFANS spreadsheet on your phone during factory visits. Newly uploaded QC photos are instantly available for on-the-spot review.

Integrate with Comment Log

Combine the QC photo column with an adjacent "QC Status""Comments"

Centralize Your Visual Quality Control

By leveraging the CNFANS spreadsheet to automatically organize QC photos, you replace a fragmented, time-consuming process with a streamlined, professional workflow. This not only saves critical time but also provides unmatched clarity, reduces errors, and keeps your entire team aligned from inspection to final shipment.
