How do I know what costumes I need to order?

 

After clicking "Add Costume" you will fill out the Costume Details.  The system lists a number of vendors for you to choose from, and you can add your own vendors as well as size charts using the Add dropdown.

 

After adding the costume, you will see it displayed in the list.  By default, the system will include that costume for each student enrolled in the class that matches the gender entered for the costume and is participating in the recital.  You can check sizes and the students that need the costume under the "Actions" button:

 

The Students & Sizes screen lets you manually tell the system any exceptions that do not need that costume and also override the sizes that will be ordered.  The Robo-Size column shows you the suggested size based on the size chart selected for that costume and you can change that for your order by updating the size in the Order Size column.  If the system did not find a suggested size, you can enter one in the Order Size column.

 

If a student does not need that costume at all, you can uncheck the box in the Order column.

 

After saving any changes and going back to the Costumes list, you can now view your Costume Order Report under the "Costume Actions" button. 

 

Your order report lists the students that need the costume, the sizes that were suggested and/or saved for them, and totals that need to be ordered.
