This guide explains how to set up Production Methods to improve the workflow of your production if you're using w3p to manage it.
Production Methods are the way to manage how your products or your suppliers' products are produced. Each method is made up of a set of Production Steps.
Production Steps are the series of steps involved in producing a product. For example, you may choose a Step to "Upload files into the printer" or "Check ink levels".
By default, all products created via are made with a simple Production Method that just uses a "Print/Make" Production Step.
The Production Steps you add are visible when a product has been ordered in the pages.
The Production Dashboard can also filter by Production Method, to help you gang or group similar jobs together.
To create a new Production Method, go to .
Add some basic details, like your Production Method's name and any extra notes you need to distinguish between this and other Production Methods, then choose Create Production Method.
