| Goal: Develop a seller customisable category system for each sellers Inventory.
Each seller should be able to go to their Inventory Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp
] and see at the top of the page an extra sorting choice, called 'By My Category'
(?) (see image)
This will sort the Inventory into Sets | Parts | Minifigs | Books | Gear
etc and then into set categories entered by the seller.
This seller specific category is set in the Inventory Add Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_add.asp
] and the Inventory Detail Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_detail.asp
]. See images for visual idea.
The sellers store will categorise them using the BL catalog (as usual), only
the seller's view of his/her inventory can only be seen by the seller.
Rollout of this idea and then after new sellers would get the BL categories pre-populated
for their inventories. Any new catalog entries would be pre-populated for sellers'
category system to change at will. Any catalog changes (re-category particularly)
only change in the BL category system but the 'My Category' entry wil
come up in red for the seller (a bit like Storeroom settings).
The 'My Category' feature is lot specific so the seller could have one
part in one category and the same part (perhaps a different colour or condition,
or something else) in another category. For instance, the controversial Beehive...
* | | 35574 Cone 2 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Stacked Rings (Beehive / Cotton Candy)
Parts: Cone |
...could be categorised by the seller as 'Animal, Accessory' for Bright
Light Orange and categorised as 'Food' for the same part but in 'Bright
Pink'.
The 'My Category' entry should be sorted alphanumerically, so the seller
will have to take this into consideration, when setting up his/her system.
Also Bricklink could also monitor how sellers are setting up their category systems
and gain some insight into the best use system. This would complement using this
forum for category ideas and listening to only about a dozen sellers on the forum.
This would help sellers sort their BL inventory the same as their physical inventory
making order processing easier and faster.
A reset function should be provide (after warnings) so the seller can reset his
inventory category system to the same as Bricklinks.
When an order comes in, there should be a setting to see the 'My Category'
with each order entry, so the seller can easily pick the order items.

A big YES from me. Been wanting this to happen for several moons. Actually I
have this feeling Dan programmed the site with this in mind because on My Inventory
[Edit More] we can tweak the Category but alas it doesn't change (maybe it
works just for Custom items I suppose).
