| Please add a colour filter to the my inventory page either below or above condition.
This will allow an easy way to find a specific piece in a specified colour. At
present the only way that we know of to do this is by knowing the element ID
(PCC) and that is not known to most, without looking it up.
It might also be useful when you choose a part no say 3001 to get not only a
lot count but a summary of the total no of items (broken into new and used).
Again the only way this can be done now is to manually add these up. (That is
what we have computers for, especially ones with SQL databases)

Sorry that doesn't work. It just lists the items by colour. If you then tick
one say black and go the filters on the right hand side it ignores the black
choice.
We want to be able to define on the right hand side of the screen what colour
and part number and condition as you can do within a store and what you have
shown does not work that way. The screen shots below show what happens when you
do it that way, and that is not what we want.
If you do it in a store it works fine but in the My Inventory area, not at all.

Type color + partnumber in the search box...
That is, if I understood what you where trying to get

You did and it works but how many people would know that. It certainly isn't
in the help section. It would be much easier if the colour filter was added to
the page. Simple amendment to the page and code. It is nothing more than an 'AND'
clause as CCBricks has added to Goatleg to help find heads and torso's.
So easy to do and would be so helpful

At least 1 more now 
It also works with the asterix btw
So if you're unsure of the number, or the 'mold' ain't important,
then simply type the asterix behind it 
Black 4085* for example...

Granted it can be a burdon to type the exact color name, particulary for long
colornames
So an additional filter for the color might be a nice thing indeed

Thanks for the additional info.
I have been heading up a software development company for over 30 years now and
one of the primary goals of all developers is to make software functional, intuitive
and easy to use. We also have a documentation specialist who focuses entirely
on the help section. We are a small company compared to BL and we manage that
- it seems that the joined-up thinking hasn't gone that far.
Such a real shame - so very much could have been done to improve the site without
bringing in the new interface (which we are not fans of - far too gimmicky).
A documentation specialist would have helped to test the software as well, as
does ours. Lots of issues get caught long before release.
As you can tell, development is a pet area for me. When the next iteration is
upon us we will see if lessons have been learned and procedures have been put
in place to improve the quality of the release.
Meanwhile, back to processing orders.
