Collections

The Edge Collections feature allows you to group items as part of a collection.  An item can belong to more than one collection.  Once the item has been designated as part of a collection, that information can be used for marketing, reporting, and suggestive selling.  For example, a collection item sold at point of sale can be set to prompt the salesperson to offer additional pieces in the collection.  Another use for the Collections feature is to help identify items that were presented together as part of a sale flier or catalog. 

 

There is not a specific report for collections, but because Collections is now a filter item in the Item Find filter, which is also used for inventory reports.  These allow you to obtain data concerning the success of a particular collection, whether it be a product line or items featured in a particular promotion.  Coupling the Collections option in the filter and the Collections group-by option, you can obtain a variety of information concerning collections. 

 

Collections can be enabled or disabled through System Options.
