Step-by-Step Instructions
Accessing the Main Page
Begin by logging into Turbine using your employee login credentials. Once logged in, you'll be directed to the main page, which offers an overview of sales, customers, affiliates, and other pertinent information related to your shop.
Viewing and Managing Orders
Navigate to the 'Manage' screen to handle orders. By selecting 'Manage Orders View,' you can access a comprehensive list of all your orders. This view allows you to filter orders as needed, such as viewing only transfer gangs or intake items that require printing.
Understanding Automated Processes
Turbine includes several automated processes that assist with garment decoration. These processes streamline tasks, ensuring that decoration workflows are handled efficiently.
Creating Batches
To organize and manage your tasks, you will create batches. Go to the 'Batches' screen where you can view existing batches and create new ones. The 'Pick Batch' and 'Print Batch' options are crucial for managing your workflow.
Viewing Total Jobs
Upon selecting 'Pick Batch,' you will see the total number of jobs currently in progress. For example, you might notice that there are 87 jobs, indicating 87 garments ready for processing.
Nomenclature and Structure
Understanding Turbine's nomenclature is essential. An 'order' consists of one or more 'jobs,' each representing a specific garment with all its associated designs. A 'design' refers to a single decoration location, such as a left chest, neck tag, or sleeve.
Conclusion
By following this guide, you should now be familiar with managing orders and creating batches for garment decoration on the Turbine platform. Understanding the workflow and nomenclature will enhance your ability to efficiently manage and oversee garment decoration tasks.
