| This is an alternate suggestion to bringing back the lot history, which seems
like its not going to happen (http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=96834).
Hopefully this makes sense - please ask if I need to clarify.
One of the functions I used the lot history for was to find other orders for
the same part with only two mouse clicks away from looking at an order detail
screen. (In other words, when I'm having a problem filling an order). Well
that function already exists in alternate form in the Search Orders function.
What I'm proposing is an OPTIONAL link that sellers could turn on or off for
their Order Detail settings as desired (like checkboxes, inventory remaining,
etc.). This would just be something like a magnifying glass icon that would
appear on each order detail row. Clicking on the icon would take the user to
the Orders Search Results screen with the search results matching the same item
(Item Number, Type, Color, Condition).
This would make the search results only one mouse click away from the order detail.
The advantage of this suggestion for Admin is that he doesn't need to create
any new pages - just a link from one existing page to another existing page.
The value to sellers focuses on when someone buys out an entire lot, but the
seller has multiple orders still in process of being filled. Its a quick way
to ensure that packing the entire lot away in an order isn't going to short another
order that includes a couple of those pieces.
Thanks. -Jason

hmmm...I currently use the price guide to accomplish this, in 2 clicks from the
order detail page. (click on the item, click on the color, view the price guide
with my sales indicated)
1 click is better though. ;-D

I do the same, though from the way you described it, I think it takes three clicks
(when I click on the item, it brings up a large image, then I click on the Catalog
Entry link, then the color). But if you have the Retain option set, and the Price
link in your inventory set to go to the Price Guide, you can skip the need to
click through the color in the catalog entry.

Click on the description, and not the image, and it takes you right to the catalog
page.

Cool, thanks. I didn't realize it was a link, since the text was black.
(Sometimes, BL feels like an old-school point-and-click adventure -- it never
hurts to just run your mouse over the whole thing to see what's clickable, and
see where it takes you.)
