Production Tab For Items in Bolster

The Production Tab in Bolster Items is a powerful tool to help streamline production by giving you visibility and control over production activities.

Understanding the Production Tab in Items

The Production Tab in the Items section is a crucial feature for managing and detailing your inventory items, such as flooring. This guide will walk you through the key functionalities of this tab, including assigning items, adding production notes, selecting worker types, and saving items in the catalog.

Assigning Items

  • To assign an item to a team member, navigate to the Production Tab by selecting the square icon and choosing 'Production' from the drop-down menu.

  • Here, you can designate specific team members to handle the item. If necessary, you can create new team members within your company to ensure the right personnel are assigned.

Adding Production Notes

  • Production notes can be added to provide additional details about the item. Use the designated text box to input any relevant information, such as the stage of completion in the order of operations.
  • Adjusting this information will impact the scheduling and Gantt chart features, allowing for more precise project management.

Selecting Worker Types

  • The Production Tab allows you to specify the type of worker required for the task. Use the drop-down menu to select the appropriate worker type.
  • This ensures that the right skills are matched to the task, optimizing efficiency and quality.

Saving Items in the Catalog

  • Decide where the item should be saved within your catalog. This acts as your organizational system, akin to a bookshelf in a library.
  • If categories already exist, they will appear here, allowing you to place the item in the correct section. Alternatively, you can create new categories to better organize your catalog.
