Care Instructions Output

Introduction & Best Practice

After setting up your Care Instructions, you can customize how they appear when exporting data through a Style Custom Report or a Custom Export. Firstly, the Style Custom Report option lets you generate reports and export them to Excel, providing detailed care instructions for manufacturers and suppliers or it can, for example, help verify compliance with industry standards. Secondly, the Custom Export allows you to transfer care instruction data to other systems through an integration, ensuring seamless data exchange and compatibility with your existing workflows.

Define Output

For each output type you have different options you can build your output from. You build your output by dragging the options into the sequence box.

Use the Care Instruction Output in the Style Custom Report

You can select which Outputs you want to include in the Style Custom Report:

When setting up an Output in any pop-up, on the bottom of the window you will see an option to include it in the Style Custom Report
Place a checkmark next to the option 'Show in custom report'

For the Composition Output, there is one extra setting once you placed a checkmark next to the option 'Show in custom report'. This is useful when using the material option 'Value'. The extra setting allows you to decide how many digits of the value should be displayed after the comma.

Choose the composition decimals from 0-2

For example if you have a material composition of 20% polyester and 80% cotton you choose '0' decimals. If you have a material composition of 19,95% polyester and 80,05% cotton you choose '2' decimals.
