As your reuse membership grows and more items are added to the system, how they are categorised becomes increasingly important.

Using the category and sub-category listings feature means users can find items easily. 

The wrong sub-category can result a big discrepancy in your savings metrics. You could be losing out just as easily as having your savings inflated. 

Here's a guide on how to use the category feature. 

Add an item

When adding an item and adding a title, you;ll then need to categorise it.   

If you start putting in the name of the item here you will find the system will make suggestions:

Use the predictive category section see here.

If you can't find what they are looking for it's important not to add it to the closest option or the system will become cluttered with mis-categorised items.

Following this you can use the sub-category option.

When adding envelopes, for example, it's important to check the options such as size of envelope and quantity (A4, C5, DL), and so on.

Replacement cost are very different between the options.

Another example is A4 paper; do you have a ream or a box of five? If you have two reams you would add this under ream of paper with two available. 

If the item is not available..

Ensure to correctly categorise the item and then opt for "other' in the sub-category section.

Add any info that you have such as replacement cost and weight

These "other' listings are sent through to us to review and add a category if required.
