Your screen will look a little different the first time you enter the Style Sample Report area: Before you have made any favorites or created your second, third or tenth sample request report. And even when copying one of your old favorites.
We will walk you through each scenario.
- CREATING YOUR VERY FIRST STYLE SAMPLE REPORT
- CREATING THE NEXT STYLE SAMPLE REPORT
- COPY A STYLE SAMPLE REPORT
CREATING YOUR VERY FIRST STYLE SAMPLE REPORT
The first time you enter the Style Sample Report area with no reports yet - click on the big "+" icon to start creating your report.
If you already have created your first report, you must click on the Star icon to create new reports.

When you create a Style Sample Report you will be asked to select what data set you want your Report to work on. If you are already familiar with the Custom Report - this is almost the same.
It will make sense for you to make some kind of pre-filter of the data set - otherwise, you can end up with huge reports.
Suppliers
Can make the reports they need. They will only be able to see the Custom Fields they are allowed to see.
And only the styles they have access to.
SELECTING DATA FOR YOUR REPORT
You can choose to include Archived Samples in your Report if you need that.
You can make selections on almost all types of Style data and all Custom Fields.
You can select which of the Style states you want to build your report on.
And you can decide which Sample Types you want in your report.
Remember:
In case you use Dividers in your Custom Fields, these will appear in your pop-up and you can use them to expand or collapse any Custom Field section.
Please notice:
For some data options, you can choose to filter on "blank". This will help you to find styles where you need to add data.
Just slide the "Include Blanks" to it's green and that option will be included.
USING THE DEADLINE OPTION
When you work with the sample request, the option to filter on deadline comes in handy.
There are three different ways to filter on the deadline
- Deadline is due before X days from now
- Deadline is due after X days from now
- Deadline is due between X and Y days from now
You can also include blank deadlines.
When you use the between two dates filter option - it is important to remember that you can also use a negative number of days.
Simply put a "-" in front of the first number and you will go back in time.
