This guide is always available on the left-hand side of ecomdash. You will always be able to easily jump between the modules using this navigation. The down-facing arrow means that there are additional sections within each module. Every module (besides the Dashboard) has multiple screens to navigate through.

It s also where you can view account information and graphs that map out the health of your business over the past 12 months.

The Low Inventory section lets you see any product that is currently low in inventory based on what is set as the reorder level. These are the products you may want to reorder by creating a purchase order directly from the Low Inventory section.

7 List for Sale The List for Sale module allows access to the listing tool ecomlister. The Active Listings section is where you manage the live listings you currently have in the system. The Unlisted Products section allows you to view the products that are not listed on your sales channels. The Queued Listings section shows the products that have not been listed, but are ready to list or require edits before the listing can be sent to the sales channel.

8 Sales Orders Once ecomdash imports your sales orders from your online storefronts or you manually create a new sales order, you will be able to work the order using the Sales Order module. The All Sales Orders section is the combined list of all of your sales orders regardless of its status. The Awaiting Payment Orders section is only for the orders that have yet to be paid. The Paid-Ready to Ship section is for orders that have been paid, but have not yet had a shipping order attached to them.

You can generate a shipping order to track the delivery of the product from your store to the customer s hands.

You will be able to upload a file with tracking information back into ecomdash from this view.

The reports section will show you numbers and trends for a variety of topics and over a time period of your choosing.

12 List Screens What options can I find on a typical screen within ecomdash?

13 Above is an example of a typical list-screen page that you ll find in ecomdash. Within these screens there are a variety of actions you can complete that are universal from page to page. These are: Sortable Columns: Each column has a little up and a little down arrow. You sort each column by clicking on these arrows. Quick Search: In the upper right-hand corner is a search function. Ecomdash permanently archives all of your transactions, so you can search for something from the moment you signed up until today. Quick Actions: A lot of the pages will have quick actions that you can take without having to go to a separate page. This page, for instance, has a little box for you to directly create a shipping order, and a red X for you to cancel the project. There is also a pencil in the order # column for when you want to manually change an order number. These same icons may appear on other pages as well. See More Items Per List: The Show tab in the upper left-hand corner gives you the option of showing a specified number of orders on screen at a given time. The default is 10 items, but you can show up to 100. Multiple Pages: Sometimes you will need multiple pages to show all of your inventory. This page list will always be on the lower right-hand side.

14 Detail Screens What additional information can I enter for each of my entries?

15 Each item on a list screen has the ability to be clicked on to obtain more detailed information. Each of these detail screens look a little different, but have the same basic functions: Title Bar: The title bar at the top of the screen will show you the order number and some helpful information about that order s status within the system. Tabs: Detail screens will have a default details page that they will go to, but oftentimes there will be additional tabs that provide even more specified details. These will appear in the upper righthand side of the title bar. Required Fields: Not every field that is shown needs to be filled out, but there are some that are required. Required fields will have a red dot to the right of them. The rest are optional. Constant Actions: Regardless of what screen you re in there is always a Back and Save button that appear on the bottom of the screen. Actions: Some of the detail screens will have an quick action icon. This will allow you to send one of you pre-made templates to a customer or supplier.
