Every week we send out an email to existing clients with helpful tips and tricks for using Details Flowers Software. The Support Team looks at trending questions each month and works to identify ways we can help to spread knowledge to everyone using the platform. Make sure you're subscribed to the Education & Support messages from Details to get these helpful emails! 

Here's a recap of what we covered in August in the Tips & Tricks series!

Auto Saving

Did you know that you can set your 'Worksheet' to automatically save your changes? It's true! Let's cover some important notes about what you need to do to enable it and how it works once you have!

Enabling Autosave

Follow these steps to turn autosave on for your worksheets:

• Click the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
• Select 'My Account.
• Switch the 'Worksheet Autosave toggle on.
• Click the 'Save' button at the bottom center.

Important Note: Autosave is enabled on a user-by-user basis, and not for the entire account. Each user that would like to use this function must enable it themselves by following the aforementioned steps.

How does it work?

Once autosave is enabled for you, you'll be able to make changes throughout the worksheet that will trigger periodic saves every 15 seconds. You'll know the page is being saved when you see the 'Save' button at the bottom-center change to 'Please Wait' and then a note will appear next to the 'Save' button that indicates the last time the page was autosaved.

Worksheet Versions

It's important to note that if you want to save specific versions of your worksheets, you should still manually save periodically and include a description. The autosave feature continually overrides itself, so there are not multiple autosaved versions, there is only one that is updated every time the page saves.

The Event List Settings

To get started, click the 'Settings' button in the top-right corner of the Event List. You'll see a window open displaying all of the Event List settings - let's break them down!

• When Clicked: Use the drop-down menu to determine what action should occur when data within the associated column is clicked. You'll notice there are many options!
• On Hover: Use the drop-down menu to determine what action should occur when the data within the associated column hover over with the mouse.
• Sticky: Use the toggle switches to determine which columns should be 'sticky' or not. If a column is sticky, that means it will hold its place in the list when scrolled. 
• Visible: Use the toggle switches to determine which columns should be included in the Event List.

The Right-Click Menu

Under the 'Other Settings' section, you'll see an option to toggle the 'Right-Click Menu' on and off. The Right-Click Menu will allow you to right-click on any column of any event to quickly and easily navigate to various related pages for that event. 

Be sure to save any changes by clicking the 'Save' button at the bottom-center of the Event List Settings window!

Worksheet Templates

As a Details Flowers member, you have the ability to turn past events, trends, packages, and more into a Worksheet Template that you can use again and again!

Templates can include: 

• Specific Category Groups (line items). 
• Color Palettes 
• Varying taxes (great if you travel often).
• Recipes
• Quantities and prices

Tip: Whenever you load a template, open the 'Options' menu in the top-right and select 'Favorite All Items' to add all of your worksheet items to the Design Board for easy use!

Adding Custom Properties

Not long ago we introduced a feature that allows you to add custom properties to any of your events, and even search by them from the Event List. Let's revisit this feature!

Custom properties are created from the Details page of any event. In the lower-left part of the page, you'll find a box for the Custom Properties - get started by clicking the 'Add Custom Property' button. 

For each custom property, you'll enter in a Property Name and a Property Value. The name is a label, like 'Budget', whereas the value would be something like '$5,000' in relation.

There are three kinds of Custom Properties:

• Text: This is a plain text field you can use to enter whatever you want!
• Numeric: This property uses numeric values. You can include dollar signs, or other punctuation if necessary. It might be used for something like entering in an event budget, or similar.
• URL: This is an option to include a link to a website. For example, your client has shared a Pinterest board with you that includes inspiration. You could use this property type to include that link. 

Searching by Custom Properties

Text and Numeric fields are searchable, and you can toggle that option on or off when you're creating or editing the property under the 'Searchable' dropdown menu.

If a property is searchable, you can include it as a search parameter from the Event List, just as you would with any of the standard search parameters available there!
