Course Audience

This course is for high-volume e-commerce sample managers who want to learn how to use Creative Force’s sample tracking features to manage their physical samples as they are moved to different locations around their studio.

Description

Let's be honest: sample management can be a total nightmare. As a sample manager, you’ve probably experienced some of the following:

Not being able to locate the samples that are needed on set
Samples accidentally being sent to a different location without your knowledge
Samples being lost with no way of tracking their whereabouts
Samples being made available for the wrong shoot
A lack of transparency or ability to view the location and availability of your samples in one place
The inability to associate samples with one another to create outfits
Data that provides a birds-eye view around sample availability

All the above makes sample management difficult. Needlessly difficult. That is why we built the tools necessary for managing all of your samples directly into Creative Force.

As part of this course, you’ll learn critical concepts like:

Jobs, Samples, and Products in Creative Force and how the three relate to one another
Creative Force locations and how they map onto physical locations in your studio
“Checking in” Samples and “checking out” Samples
The difference between Sample codes and Creative Force Sample Codes
Imported Product Status
Outfits and Wardrobes

Setting your Samples' Imported Product Status
Configuring your different locations’ settings
Configuring your computer locations
