Talk:Gizmo Categories

I was dropping the original content of my email to reuse. Obviously this mainly conflicts with some of the prerequisites outlined by richard. I put this here only so i could easily reference it when looking at the main page. Luiz 00:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

To start:

-Where stuff comes from [main items] (# options per line for pull down under POS) a) Receiving [cables, other] (2)   a.5) Basic Test [Keboard, Mouse, Speakers] (3) b) Advanced Testing [mobo, ram, hdd, video card, net device, optical device,other] (7)   c) Build [computer parts] (1) e) Mac Build [Apples, Mac laptops, AS IS computers, other] (4)   f) Laptop Build [Laptops, AS IS laptops, ac adaptors, RAM, other] (5) g) Printer [printers] (1)   h) Recycling [other] (1) i) prebuild [cards: usb card, firewire cards, network cards (for now, should be moved to advanced test), power supply, other] (3)

that adds up to 27. At present, we have 37 categories. That would already be a significant improvement.

Could also do stuff like: gizmo type, r(sale status), [where it came from ] 1) Untested - Other (AS IS) [receiving] 2) Cables - Untested (AS IS) [receiving] 3) Keyboard - Tested (Exchangable) [Basic Test] 4) Mouse - Tested (Exchangable) [Basic Test] 5) Speakers - Tested (Exchangable) [Basic Test] 6) Internal Component - Tested (Exchangable) [Advanced Testing] 7) Internal Component - Untested (AS IS) [Advanced Testing] 8) Apple - Tested (Exchangable) [Mac Build] 9) Apple - Untested (AS IS) [Mac Build] 10) laptop - apple (Exchangable) [Mac Build] 11) laptop - x86 (Exchangable) [Laptop Build] 12) laptop parts - untested (AS IS) [Laptop Build] 13) printers - (Exchangable) [printer island] 14) Art reuse - AS IS (recylcling) 15) Cards - UNTESTED (AS IS) (Prebuild) 14) Power Supply - Tested (Exchangable) [Prebuild] 15) Other - Detailed

That gets us down to 15. Wording could use tweaks all over the place.

Your ideas?
