This guide explains how you can control what your users see when they are in the marketplace and how they can make a claim.
To start, go to:
Settings > Control Users > Control What Internal Staff Get To Claim
The default setting on the dropdown menu is so staff can view and claim internal items only.
When you first start rolling out your reuse project, it is important that you keep it that way, as you want to build up your internal reuse programme before you start working with other organisations.
We advise that you start simply, roll out your project incrementally, and focus on buy-in and registrations.
Once internal trades are flowing nicely and you have high participation, you’re ready to engage with third parties.
Again, go to:
Settings > Control Users > View and Claim Internal, Partner Organisations, and the Rest of Warp It Nationally
Once you've selected this option, when searching for assets, your staff will be able to see the surplus items of other organisations, claim them, and arrange collections. T
here’s a bit of control and risk associated with that, so your organisation needs to make sure that legally, as well as health and safety-wise, correct procedures are in place.
You can send a specific message to external claiming parties.

If you have partner organisations that you’re already linked up with and have an understanding with, perhaps in the same city or sector, you can use them to build up a network of friends to trade with. I
f this sounds preferable, to negate the risks of ‘The Rest of Warp It Nationally’, follow the steps below:
Settings > Control Users > View and Claim Internal and Partner Organisations
Depending on the stage of your reuse project, you'll most likely recognise which of these options is best for you.
