Efficient order management is crucial for e-commerce success. With the USFANS Spreadsheet, you can dramatically streamline your workflow by organizing pending, QC, and shipped items effectively. This guide will show you how to use filters to save valuable time and reduce errors.
Why Filtering is Your Key to Efficiency
Manually scrolling through hundreds of orders is time-consuming and prone to mistakes. The filtering system in the USFANS Spreadsheet allows you to instantly isolate orders based on their current status and priority level. This creates a clear action plan for you and your team, ensuring nothing gets missed.
Step-by-Step: How to Filter Your Orders
-
Locate the Status & Priority Columns
Open your USFANS order spreadsheet. Identify the columns typically labeled "Status""Priority"
-
Apply the Initial Status Filter
Click the filter icon (usually a funnel or dropdown arrow) in the "Status" column header. A checklist will show all available statuses. For example:
- Pending: New orders awaiting processing.
- QC: Orders in the Quality Control check stage.
- Shipped: Completed and dispatched orders.
Uncheck "Select All," then check only "Pending". Your view will now show only pending orders.
-
Refine Further with Priority Filtering
While the "Pending" filter is active, click the filter icon in the "Priority""High Priority". Your spreadsheet now displays only high-priority pending orders, allowing you to address the most urgent tasks first.
-
Save and Manage Views
For repeated workflows, consider saving these filtered views. In Google Sheets, use "View Save as named view."Custom Table Filter
