Wardrobe Needs

You can use this page to see what you need to acquire (buy) to keep your wardrobe in "peak performance". Think of this list of "needs" as your shopping list. You can look at all needs, some needs, or a single need.

NOTE for agents only: If you're an agent, you have two choices: When you select "One client" from the "Wardrobe needs" command in your main menu, you can view the needs (the shopping list) of your current client as described next. When you select "All clients" from the "Wardrobe needs" command in your main menu, you can see the needs of all your clients mixed together, as if you were viewing one giant master shopping list. This is a great tool for providing efficient client service. See "All Clients" Mode below.

To use this page, you select the conditions by which you want to filter your set of needs, press "Go", and view the results. There are several things you can do with the results, for example, you can print the list and take it on a shopping trip.

To use this page:

1. (Optional) You can filter by a days left, a department, an article, and a purpose (capsule).

   NOTE: When filtering for "days left", use one of the top entries ("less than 14, 30, 60, 90, 180, or 365 days left").
   
   

2. (Optional) If you click the "More..." link, the "More Filters" page will pop up and you can also filter by the situation of the need, the need status, the need priority , the need top folder , the person having the need, and/or keywords in the need's name. Press "OK" to close the pop up.
   
   
3. Press "Go" to retrieve the needs you've selected.

Needs that match the filter conditions will be displayed in a list at the bottom of the page. You can:

• Click on a column header name (e.g. "Days left") to sort by that column.
  
  
• Click on an "Actions" button to update information about the need.
  
  
• Click on a need name to view the Need Properties page. You can also update information about the need on this page.
  
  
• Click on the "Assets" number to view the assets covering the need and/or add (a) new asset(s).
  
  
• Click on a "Show" button in the "Review?" column to view and/or print a list of assets covering the need. You can take this list to your closet and do a quick check of those assets.

You can also use one of the buttons on this page:

• Click on the "Add a need" button to add a new need using the "Add Need" page.
  
  
• Click on the "Add many needs" button to add several new needs at once.
  
  
• Click on the "Manage capsules" button to display a list of capsules that you can view and modify.

• You can constantly be aware of which clients need which items most urgently, so you can shop for the right things at the right times.
  
  
• If you know of a special shopping opportunity (e.g. a private show or a fantastic sale), you can find all clients who will need to have that type of need replenished in the next three months, and get them great deals.

When viewing in "All clients" mode, you'll also see the name of each client in each row. You can click on the client name to view that client's Client Profile page.

NOTE: When viewing in "All clients" mode, the purpose, top folder, and person filters are not useful since they apply to a single client only (the current client).
