How to use the Delete All Products option:

• • • Navigate to the Settings
    • Select Product Catalogue from the menu.
    • Find and click on the Remove All Products button.
    • Confirm your action to clear the entire catalogue.

⚠️ Note: Deleting all products is a permanent action, so use it carefully.

• View a single pre-defined packaging option or multiple with views!

  • You can now switch between two different views for the Packaging section in Order details.
    The multi-package view displays all pre-defined packaging options.

    
    Whereas the single package view displays one packaging option which can be changed via the dropdown.
    
    
    
    By default, you will see the multi-package view. To change to the single package view select 'Single package' from the 'View' dropdown located at the bottom right of the Packaging section in the Order details page. Your selection is remembered, so you will only need to select it once.

• Editing Line Items

  • The pen icon for editing line item has been removed in favour of the additional columns for line items. This line item edit pop up was causing UI issues.
    You can now conveniently edit all item details directly within the item grid. If there's a specific column you'd like to edit that isn't currently visible, you can add it to the item grid by clicking the cog icon and then selecting the fields you'd like to display.
    
    The choices you make will be saved, so you won't need to make these adjustments every time you open an order.
    We made this change to allow you to personalize the platform to your needs. Many of the item fields may not be relevant to you, so you can now customize it to display only what you require

• Tracking Number now available in Printed and Shipped Tab
  • We have now added a column option in the Printed and Shipped tabs, so customers now have visibility of the tracking number of the order directly from the orders grid

• Shift+click to select multiple orders

    💡 Tip: We recommend clicking within the order row itself as checkboxes do not support shift+click.
    To select multiple orders
    Click the first order, hold the Shift key and click the last order. All orders in between will be selected.
    
    You can also hold the Control key (for Windows) or the Command key (for Mac) to select or deselect a single order while maintaining your shift+click selection.

OCTOBER

• Add additional information to an order with notes!
  • Order notes are displayed on the Order details screen. They're a useful tool for adding additional information to an order, communication between multiple team members, or ensuring something important doesn't get forgotten.

 

Order notes are internal only and are not shared with the receiver. Notes can not be edited once the label has been printed.

 

 

• Show Integration Store Name
  • We now have updated the 'Import orders from integration' modal to include the store name of the integration. This is particularly useful for customers with multiple integrations with the same platform.

We have also updated the order grid column "Source" to also include the integration store name for further granularity.

 

• Choose how to import customer notes from Shopify

 

Shopify users now have four different ways to choose from when deciding how order notes left at checkout should be imported and mapped in DEC.

The four options are:

1. Import order notes to the delivery instructions,
2. Import order notes to the notes section,
3. Import order notes to both the delivery instructions field AND the note section, or
4. Do not import order notes

Importing Shopify order notes to the notes section in DEC can be useful in cases where notes are not relevant to delivery, such as personalisation or custom gift messages etc.

To change how Shopify notes are imported and mapped:

1. From the Orders page, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Shopify Settings
2. Click on the Advanced tab and scroll down to the Field Mapping section
3. Select your preferred option from the Map order notes dropdown
4. Click Save

  The expanded grid view is a new way to view your orders! It displays each item, SKU, and bin location onto a new line, allowing for easy viewing of up to 5 items per order.

   

   
  To enable the expanded grid view:
  • Open the column options menu
  • Under Grid View, select Expanded
  • Click Apply

  We've added new details to the 'Package Sent' report, including item SKUs, Incoterms, Order Value, Number of packages, and Package Names.
