Ideas & Suggestions

If we could highlight the nickname, or flag the quote with a red exclamation point under the nickname, that would help production see rush orders

You charge a lot for premium and the main benefit is Power Scheduler. So how about some enhancements? Need an indicator for Rush jobs so we know they need to be prioritized. Would also like an indicator that tells Production Team the job has ancillary production needs, i.e. DTF and Screen Print for same group of shirts. These are different departments, so Screen Printers need to know this job gets done and then moves to DTF team and not Shipping/pickup. Would also like an indicator that shows up on the quotes tab to indicate job is on Power Scheduler already. We have an automation that moves job to Power Scheduler when it hits a certain status but more than once someone in Front Office has skipped that status and job gets orphaned (doesn't show up on Power Scheduler) until someone locates it and manually adds it. I'd like to be able to adjust the total minutes available for production each day in the power scheduler. We have multiple machines we've assigned available minutes to each day but they are all not in use at the same time, so, for example, each day shows 900 minutes available for Screen Printing, which translates to 15 hours of printing a day because we have 3 machines. We only have 2 printers so maximum minutes each day should be 600 because the printers bounce between machines based on the job. It would also be nice if we could adjust the minutes for day when people are out sick or we plan a half day of production. I don't want to override the machine settings just the day allocated production minutes. Would be nice if we could combine imprints in the same way we can split them today. Quoting in Printavo is not as flexible as we'd like, so at times we end up with multiple imprints across a job that are the same image, would be great is we could group them for the Printers so they know it's all the same image and can plan accordingly. Would love to have a master "Schedule" page that would show total jobs, minutes and status across all departments so we can see how busy the entire shop is on any given day without having to bounce between multiple Power Schedules - this could be a read only screen Would be great if we could add maintenance, setup and tear down tasks to the schedule during the day for visibility to things like swapping out pallets, or replacing pallet tape or other tasks required between jobs that happen all day but are not apparent when looking at the schedule in Printavo. Would love a pop up window where the Production team can add notes to the job/imprint directly without having to go to a new tab, open quote, click edit, add note, click save and then go back to Power Schedule.

Currently, in the Power Scheduler, if any of the drop-down items are changed, we can see who, what, and when things were changed. However, if Dates are added or changed, there is no record of that. As a sign shop, it would be very helpful since we use different power schedulers for Production, Apparel, Fabrication, and Scheduling Installations. If those dates are changed or added, it is important we know who changed them and when.

It would be nice if Power Scheduler blocked out the time on the calendar per day. That way when a job is booked you could actually see if there was room for a job to be scheduled that day or at least if there could be a pop up that states the day is full for production.

There needs to be an easier way to see all jobs owned by a sales rep in bulk in the power scheduler so they can get a perspective of where jobs stand. This includes one view of all order types and all machines.

I would like to be able to group designs together. If I have the same design printing on multiple orders, it would be nice to be able to group them together for a single print run. Maybe some way of assigning a design number that can be transferred to a design across multiple orders, and the ability to print them all together on some sort of print/emb list, or a way to link orders together that have the same design. Something, please!

The Power Scheduler is great. however, it would be soooo much better if once a job is scheduled that it is placed on the calendar. The calendar should work like the Power Scheduler so that we can see multiple print locations broken down and color coded on the calendar. Think Google Calendar and all the features that can be customized on GC. Not everyone works well with lists and not everyone works well with calendars. Help all of us that have different working methods PLEASE!!!

It would be nice to have automations that remove jobs from the power scheduler once they reach a certain status

Right now, if a job doesn't have a date applied to it in the power scheduler until after it's completed, there's no way to assign it to the date that it actually id print on, if it was more than a day ago. I know this is a workaround to a human error problem, but it would be valuable for historical reasons if nothing else, on the occasions where this happens, due to oversight on the part of the person who should have applied them to a date.

Need to be able to automate the power scheduler to clear jobs once they hit a certain status. Even if we mark them completed or change dates in power scheduler, our page is going very slow from all of the jobs it has to upload if we don't manually clear them.
