We’re excited to introduce the launch of our all new request inbox filters. We've taken on your feedback and built this new streamlined system, designed to make it easy for you to sort your inbox quickly & efficiently to help you identify your perfect requests.
Here's what's new:
In your inbox, you'll notice a new "filter" button next to the "Search Requests" bar. Clicking on this button will open a sidebar which gives you the option to filter your inbox to preview the requests that are valuable to you.
This means, you can now filter your inbox by:
1) Service Type
2) Distance from Event
3) Date of Event
4) Number of Existing Quotes on Request
5) Event Type
Service Type
The Service Type filter allows you to filter requests by which service they're looking for. You can select an individual service or multiple services you're listed for at once, so you can view only those requests in your inbox.
Distance From Event
The Distance filter allows you to filter requests based on location. You can choose between requests that are less than 5, 10, 15, 25, 40, 80, 150, or 200 miles away.
Date of Event
The Date filter allows you to easily find requests that will fill vacant days in your calendar. You can select between Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, or Next Month; or, use the calendar function to select a specific day or period you'd like to view.
Number of Quotes
The Number of Quotes filter allows you to filter requests based on the number of quotes they currently have from other suppliers. You can choose from requests with anything from 0 to 6 or more existing quotes.
Event Types
Finally, the Event Type filter allows you to filter requests based on the type of event. You can select between Anniversary, Birthday Party, Charity Event, Children's Party, Christening, Corporate Event, Festival, Hen Party, Stag Party, Wedding, or Something Else.
You can select an individual event type or multiple event types so your inbox flexes to your requirements.
Applying, Managing & Clearing Filters
You can preview the number of requests that match your filters in the "view" button, where you'll see a request count.
Once you've applied your filters, they will remain active as you navigate between "Inbox", "Favourites", and "Archived".
It is easy to tell when filters are applied to your inbox as you will notice the "Filters" button is highlighted and has a number next to it to indicate the number of active filters applied to your inbox.
Quoting With Filters
You can quote on a request in exactly the same way as normal with your filters applied. After sending your quote, when you return to your inbox, the previously applied filters will remain.
Clearing Filters
While logged in, you can clear your filters by refreshing the page or heading to the "Filters" button and selecting "Clear All" in the bottom left.
When you log out of your account, your filters will reset.
