1 Welcome to FlashConsign.com Welcome, and thanks for choosing FlashConsign.com to host your next consignment sale. This guide will help you as an Owner or Editor of a Consignee Account who will be using FlashConsign to manage a consignment sale. Specifically, you will need to create a new consignment sale, add one or more date(s) when the sale will be held, manage what types of items are acceptable for sale and what price restrictions you would like to be enforced. There s a lot to cover because FlashConsign conforms to your consignment sale, not the other way around. Let s get started. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 6 of 153

2 Your Consignee Account Before you can do anything to host your consignment sale with FlashConsign.com, you will need to create a Consignee Account for your organization. This account identifies your organization to the FlashConsign system. This only needs to be done one time for your organization. All of your consignment sales will be underneath this one account. If your organization s Consignee Account has already been created, please skip to the Logging In section below. 2.1 Creating a Consignee Account To create a Consignee Account for your organization, open your favorite web browser to www.flashconsign.com and select the Get Started link. Selecting the Get Started Link Selecting this link will open a dialog box which will ask you to choose which type of account you would like to create. Please be sure to select the button that indicates that you want to Host consignment sales. Get Started Action Choices FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 7 of 153

Selecting the Host a Sale button will take you to a web form which will let you tell us about your organization and about yourself. This form is called the Consignee Signup Form. Consignee Signup Form There may seem like a lot of fields in this form, but don t worry. There s nothing required that you don t probably already know, and there is help available for each field. Just hover your mouse over the small icon next to the field, and help for that field, usually with an example, will appear. Viewing Field-Level Help When you have filled in the entire Consignee Signup form, select the Create Consignee Account button to submit the form. The Consignee Account for your organization and your personal Member Account will be created in seconds and you will see a confirmation screen. Your Member Account is an account that you own that is the Owner of the Consignee Account. To access your organization s Consignee Account, you must first log in with your Member Account with the Email Address and Password you provided. Tip: You will be sent an email at the email address you provided in the Consignee Signup form. Please be sure that this message is not incorrectly flagged as SPAM. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 8 of 153

Now that your Member account and Consignee account have been created, you can select the Create Consignment Sale button on the confirmation screen to get started right away. Alternatively, you can select the Member Home link in the upper right corner of the page to proceed to your Member Account s home page. Proceeding from the Confirmation Page Note: If you choose to not create a consignment sale at this time, you can create one later by first logging into your Member Account, selecting the Manage Consignment Sales toolbar button, then selecting the Create a Consignment Sale button in the toolbar. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 9 of 153

3 Creating a Consignment Sale After you create your organization s Consignee Account, you will be presented with an option to immediately create a consignment sale. This will take you into the Create Consignment Sale Wizard. As you move through this wizard, notice that you enter selections and values on the left side of the screen, and these values appear in the summary on the right side of the screen. Create Consignment Sale Wizard In this first page of the wizard, you select which Consignee Account the new consignment sale is for and the type of consignment sale. Consignee Account In most cases, you will only have one selection available in the Consignee drop-down selector. Select the Consignee Account you wish to use. Sale Type There are two types of sales that can be created. Select the correct type, and then select the Start button. Seasonal A consignment sale that runs for a couple of days only. Retail Useful for consignment shops that log sales throughout the year. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 10 of 153

3.1.1 Consignment Sale Dates Next, you will need to add one or more date(s) that your consignment sale will be held. 3.1.1.1 Retail Sale Dates If your sale is a Retail sale, you will be prompted to enter the range of dates for this sale. Normally this will start on January 1 st and end on December 31 st of the same year. Each Retail sale is valid for up to one calendar year. Selecting Retail Sale Start/End Dates FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 11 of 153

3.1.1.2 Seasonal Sale Dates Adding a date to a Seasonal consignment sale is a two-step process. First, you click the text box next to the Sale Date(s) label. This will open a calendar which you can use to select a date. Click the desired date. This will populate the field with that date. To add this date, you need to select the Add Date button, which will move that date into the box below. Step 1: Selecting a Date for the consignment sale Step 2: Adding the Selected Date Repeat this same process to add all date(s) on which your consignment sale will be open. Don t worry if you don t know the exact dates of your consignment sale. You can easily add and remove dates later. Once you have added date(s) for your sale, one more date is required the Last Join Date. This is the date after which this sale will no longer allow consignors/sellers to join. Selecting the Last Join Date is similar to adding sale dates, but doesn t require two steps. Just click on the input field and then select the date. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 12 of 153

When you are done entering all of the date(s) for your sale, select the Next button to continue. Proceeding from the Sale Dates page of the Wizard 3.1.2 Consignment Sale Details Once you have entered dates for your sale, you will be taken to the Sale Details page of the wizard. This page allows you to name and describe the consignment sale, and to provide some other important information. 3.1.2.1 Tax Multiplier On this page, you will want to pay particular attention to the Tax Multiplier field, if your sale will charge sales tax. The field help for this field (hover over the icon) provides some examples to follow so that this value is entered correctly. Tax Multiplier Field Help Please Note: The Tax Multiplier specified here becomes the default tax multiplier for all purchases made at this sale. If your sale needs to charge different tax rates for different items, you will have the option later to specify additional tax rates and associate those rates to Item Categories. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 13 of 153

As always, you can change the values found on the Sale Details screen later, so don t worry if you aren t sure what to enter into these fields. And, don t forget to hover your mouse over the icons to get help on any field. When you re done, select the Next button to continue. The Sale Details page of the wizard FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 14 of 153

3.1.3 Consignor Configurations The next step in the Create Consignment Sale wizard is to enter some configurations for consignors/sellers for your sale. This is where you specify whether or not you would like to approve applications to join the sale, or if they are automatically approved. In addition, you can provide a description of any requirements you have to join your sale. These requirements will be presented to the consignors as they submit their applications to your sale. If this is your first consignment sale hosted with FlashConsign, it is probably best to select the Require Approval option. This option will require that you approve each individual application for your consignment sale (you can approve multiple in one action). This is important because it also allows you to assign Seller ID(s) to applicants as you approve them. If this is not your first FlashConsign sale for this Consignee Account, then the Auto-Approve if Returning option is probably best. This will automatically approve applications for returning consignors, assigning them their Seller ID(s) from the most recent sale, which requiring all new consignors to have their applications approved by you. Consignor Configurations in the Wizard 3.1.3.1 Copy Consignors On this page of the wizard, you may have the option to select a previous sale to copy consignors from. If your sale is a Retail sale, this may be useful to automatically move consignors from the previous year s sale to this year s sale. If you sale is a Seasonal sale, this may be useful to preapprove all of last sale s consignors. If you would like to start from scratch with consignors for this sale, select the Do NOT Copy Consignors option. Click the Next button when you are ready to move to the next step. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 15 of 153

All that s left is to review the summary of your entries on the right side of the screen and submit by clicking the Create Consignment Sale button. Summary of the Consignment Sale Once you select to create your new consignment sale, you will be shown a confirmation screen. Consignment Sale Created Confirmation Screen (Seasonal Sale) Please Note: This screen will look slightly different based on the type of consignment sale that you created. A Retail sale will not have the option to make the sale consignor-paid. Please see the next section for details regarding this option. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 16 of 153

3.1.5 Making a Payment You can create a consignment sale without providing payment for it, but you must make a payment in order to unlock it for use. When you submit the Create Consignment Sale Wizard, you will be taken to a confirmation screen as shown in the previous section. This screen has a button which will take you to the secure payment wizard. Alternatively, you can select the Member Home link in the upper-right corner of the screen to return to your Member Account. 3.1.5.1 Consignor-Paid Option From the Consignment Sale Created confirmation screen, you have the option to make the new consignment sale consignor-paid. This option will immediately unlock this consignment sale for use, but will require that all consignors who join pay a small FlashConsign fee prior to using their account. Please Note: You don t have to decide this now. If you choose to return to your account without making a payment or making the sale consignor-paid, the same options are available on the Manage Consignment Sales page.

6.8 Manage Item Flags An Item Flag is a marker which can be added to an Item at your consignment sale to flag it with some meaning. For example, if your sale restricts the categories of items allowed for sale, you may create an item flag which identifies items which do not comply with those categories. Similarly, if you specify certain quality standards, you may create several item flags to indicate violations of those standards. Item flags don t have to be for bad reasons. You may want to flag when an item is sold to a member as opposed to someone from the general public. To manage Item Flags for the Consignee Account, select the Manage Item Flags option.

7.1.1 Set a Date for Job Signups to Begin It is important to note an additional field available when editing a consignment sale. There is a field named Jobs Open Date which is optional, meaning you do not have to provide a value for this field. This field allows you to specify a date on which job signups become available for this consignment sale. Leaving this field blank indicates that jobs should be available for signup as soon as they are created. For example, if you would like members of your organization to be able to view jobs for the entire month of June but to not be able to actually sign up for the jobs until July 1, you would want to create the jobs prior to June, so that they are available for viewing, but set the Jobs Open Date to July 1 st of that year. 7.1.2 Set Item Price Restrictions Many consignment sales place restrictions on the price of the Items sold at the sale. For example, you may want to set a minimum price of $1.00 with price increments of $0.25.

Price Increment and Minimum Price fields 7.1.3 Set the Default Keep Percent You will need to configure the default percentage that your organization keeps from sales of items at your consignment sale.

7.7 Manage Sale Jobs Running a consignment sale is a lot of work, and it takes a lot of people to make it happen. Organizing all those people can be difficult, but FlashConsign makes it simple. Earlier in this guide you learned how to create Job Categories, which apply across all of the consignment sales for your Consignee Account. Now it s time to use those categories to create jobs/shifts for this specific consignment sale. To get started, select the Manage Jobs & Workers option. Managing Jobs & Workers for a Sale When you select this option, a pane will open on the right side of the screen. This pane will contain a grid/table which shows all of the Jobs you have defined, and the workers assigned to those Jobs, if any. If you have not yet defined any Jobs for this consignment sale, the table will be empty. Consignment Sale with Zero Jobs FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 52 of 153

7.7.1 Filter Displayed Jobs Some consignment sales will have many, many jobs, and the list of these jobs can become difficult to manage. To help alleviate this problem, you can use Filters. Filters allow you to restrict the display of Jobs to only those you wish to see. You can use multiple Filters at the same time to quickly display just what you need. To apply different Filter settings, simply make different selections from the Filter drop-down selectors above the Sale Jobs Table. The results will be reflected immediately in the table below, although it may take a few seconds for the results to actually update and display as the Filter is being applied. Filter Selections to show only Open Jobs with the Cashier Helper Category on any date Filter Selections to show only Assigned Jobs in any Category on July 29th Filter Selections to show all Open jobs in any Category that are Private on any date FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 53 of 153

7.7.2.2 Customizing the Add Sale Job Form Many times, a consignment sale will have tens or even hundreds of jobs to enter. To make this work as easy and as fast as possible, the Add Sale Job form is customizable to allow you to indicate which field(s) to keep as entered so that the same value(s) can be used to create the next job. Select the desired Keep checkboxes to indicate which value(s) to retain after submitting the form. Of course, the Add another Job after this one checkbox must be checked in order to the Keep checkboxes to apply. Customizing the behavior of the Add Sale Job form FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 56 of 153

7.7.3 Job Types Each job has a specified Job Type. This type defines how the job is assigned. The Job Type selector in the Add Sale Job form allows you to categorize the type of this job. Job types are as follows: Normal This job type allows anyone to sign up. Most jobs will be of this type. A job type of Normal indicates that a Job can be viewed by the general public, who can then sign up for the Job. There are no restrictions on signing up for a Normal Job. Restricted This job type can only be viewed and selected to sign up by authorized Editors for the consignee account. This type of job is useful to manage the leadership positions at the sale without having public view of those positions. A job type of Restricted indicates that a Job can only be viewed by the Editors authorized for the consignment sale. These Editors will still need to log in to their member accounts and sign up for Restricted job(s), just like any other Job. In other words, the only difference between a Normal Job and a Restricted Job is that Restricted Jobs are only included in the table of Open Jobs for a Sale if the logged-in user is an Editor for the consignment sale. Private This job type may only be assigned to a worker by an authorized Editor for the consignee account. This type of job is useful for those jobs that are intended for specific individuals or if you would like to have more control over who is assigned the jobs, such as Cashier positions (to be sure that those working the shifts are efficient). A job type of Private indicates that a Job will never be included in the table of Open Jobs. This type of Job must be assigned by an Editor of the consignment sale through the Manage Jobs & Workers functionality. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 57 of 153

7.7.10 Lock Jobs A Locked job is a job that is still displayed for signup, but a Locked job cannot be selected for signup. However, a Locked job can be assigned to a worker by an Editor. The ability to lock jobs can be useful to restrict signup for jobs that are not critical to your sale in order to first fill up critical shifts before unlocking the non-critical jobs. Also, you may consider locking jobs that you want to hand-pick from those individuals who express interest. Please Note: All Editors for the sale will receive an email notification if a potential worker expresses interest in a locked job. Use the options under the Edit toolbar option to lock/unlock selected jobs. Options to Lock/Unlock Sale Jobs 7.7.11 Job Groups Each job for your sale can optionally have a Job Group defined. Job Groups are used to associate jobs with one another in order to easily filter jobs to view and manage. For example, if your sale jobs are split into three time shifts, then you may consider assigning job groups of Morning, Lunch, and Afternoon. Or, perhaps you want to mark certain jobs as noncritical to easily find them to lock/unlock. The Job Group can be specified when adding the job, or when editing the job.

7.18 Publish the Consignment Sale At this point, if you are following this guide from front to back, you are now ready to publish this consignment sale. When you first created this sale, it was created in an unpublished state. In this state only you and the Editors you authorized were able to view the sale. In other words, no public visitors or potential consignors and/or workers could view the sale. When you have fully configured the consignment sale, you will want to Publish it, so that it becomes available to view and sign up for. Don t Worry! You will still be able to modify your consignment sale after publishing it. To publish a consignment sale, first select the sale in the tree. This will open the Sale Details on the right side of the screen. There is a button in this pane which will let you publish this sale.

8 Manage Consignors Once you have Published the consignment sale and shared the signup link with potential Consignors, Workers and Customers, you will need to manage new Consignors that sign up to sell items at your sale. Before delving into the management of consignors in the FlashConsign system, it is important to visit how consignors apply and are approved to join your consignment sale. For your first consignment sale with FlashConsign, it is recommended that you configure the system to require your approval (or the approval of any Editors you configure) prior to that Consignor being approved for the consignment sale. The reason for this recommendation is so that you can individually assign one or more Seller IDs to the consignors as they apply to join the sale. If this is not your first consignment sale with FlashConsign, then you may want to still manually approve all applications, but you may also select the Auto-Approve if Returning option. This option will automatically approve Consignors who apply to join this sale who have been approved for a previous sale for your Consignee Account. As part of this auto-approve process, all nonconflicting Seller IDs assigned to that Consignor for the most recent sale, will be automatically reassigned to the Consignor. Tip: To change how consignors are approved for the consignment sale, select the Edit this Sale link after selecting the sale in the tree. If, for some reason, a Consignor is auto-approved to join your sale, but the system could not assign at least one Seller ID for that Consignor, you will receive an email notification to alert you of this situation. This consignor will not be able to print tags (but can enter items) until a Seller ID is assigned. You will receive an email notification if a Consignor applies to join the consignment sale and is waiting for your review of their application. In addition, you will also see an alert regarding pending Consignor applications, if any, when you first log in to your Member Account. Alert message showing Pending consignor applications FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 96 of 153

8.1 Review Consignor Applications When a Consignor applies to join the consignment sale, and the application is not automatically approved, this application will require a review by you or one of the Editors you have authorized for the Consignee Account. Please Note: Consignors with pending applications for your consignment sale will be prevented from printing tags until their applications have been approved. These pending consignors, can, however, proceed with entering items into their inventory while still under review. To perform a review of all pending Consignor applications, first log in to your Member Account and then select the Manage Consignment Sales button in the top toolbar. Then, select the consignment sale in the tree. Once the consignment sale has been loaded, select the Manage Consignors option. This will open a new pane on the right side of the screen which will show all of the consignors for the consignment sale. Managing Consignors for a Consignment Sale Once the Consignors Pane has loaded on the right side of the screen, you can configure the Filters to only show you those consignor(s) who have applications that are pending your review. Filter Settings for Pending Consignor Applications Only Once you have filtered out all consignors except those requiring a review, you need to select one or more consignor(s) to review.

8.2 Managing a Single Consignor Most actions you take for consignors for your consignment sale will take place for a single consignor at a time, and the steps to take each action will always start with selecting a single consignor from the list of consignors for your consignment sale. 8.2.1 Sorting the List of Consignors If your consignment sale has a lot of consignors, the list can start to become cumbersome, and it can be difficult to find a specific Consignor you would like to select. You can use the Filters above the table of consignors to limit the list, but this still may not be enough. To aid in finding a specific consignor in the table, you have the option to sort any of the columns in the table, either ascending or descending. To sort a particular column, simply click on the header for that column. Please be patient! The sort may take a few seconds to complete, especially when there are hundreds of consignors to sort. Sorting Consignors By Seller ID You will notice a small arrow icon in the column header, indicating that column has been sorted. This arrow will point Up for an ascending sort and Down for a descending sort. Once you have applied an appropriate sort to the Consignors Table, you can scroll vertically and horizontally to find the consignor you are looking for. 8.2.2 Select a Consignor to View To work with a specific Consignor, you must first click on that Consignor in the table of consignors.

11 Generate Consignor Settlement Reports After the completion of your consignment sale, your consignors will love that they can immediately see an estimated settlement report online through their Member Account. However, you will need to generate the official settlement reports for your consignors. 11.1 Things to verify before generating Consignor Settlement Reports Although you can generate the Consignor Settlement Reports over and over again, it can be a big waste of time, effort and paper to do so more than once. Please take a few minutes prior to generating the settlement reports to review the following items: Have you correctly set the default keep percent for this sale? You can view this by clicking on the sale in the tree and change it by using the Edit this Sale link after selecting the sale in the tree. This default percentage is the percent of all sales your organization keeps. Have you customized the keep percent for appropriate consignors? If you have a need to customize the percentage your organization keeps from certain consignors sales, you need to do this prior to generating the consignor settlement reports. Have you customized the consignor settlement report section(s) you would like to change? FlashConsign lets you enter custom text into various sections of the settlement reports. Here is where you can enter a message about the tax-deductibility (or lack thereof) of the amount kept by your organization, or any other text you would like to include. Have all transactions been fully and completely entered via POS Mode? Any new transactions entered will alter at least one consignor settlement report. Once the reports are generated, no more transactions should be entered. Do all of your consignors have an address specified for their accounts? A consignor must provide an address when they sign up, but the FlashConsign system cannot verify that it is a valid address. You may want to export the consignor data and verify the addresses prior to generating the consignor settlement reports. This is important if you are generating labels to mail the reports, and is even more important if you are using window envelopes to use the preaddressed consignor reports. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 133 of 153

When you are ready to start the process of generating the consignor settlement reports, first select the consignment sale and then select the Generate Consignor Reports option. Generating Consignor Settlement Reports Selecting this option will open a pane on the right side of the screen which will allow you to customize, test and (finally) generate a printable (and savable!) PDF file that contains all of the consignor settlement reports for this consignment sale. The Generate Consignor Settlement Reports Pane FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 134 of 153

11.2 Perform Settlement While Generating Reports When generating settlement reports for all consignors, or for just a specific consignor, you will have the option to Perform Settlement as part of the report generation. And, if you do elect to perform settlement, you also have the option to automatically record payments in the ledgers of consignors who have an amount due to them. As part of submitting the forms to generate reports, you will need to select settlement preferences, even if that preference is NOT to perform settlement. 11.2.1 Perform Settlement Selection Your first selection will be to indicate if settlement should be performed at all as part of generating the settlement reports. If this is a test run, then it is probably not a good idea to also perform settlement. However, if this is the final run, and you plan to start cutting checks to consignors, then it may be a good idea to perform settlement as well. Perform Settlement Options If you select to perform settlement, you will also need to indicate your preference for automatic recording of payments in the consignor ledgers. Automatic Payment Type Options Payments may be automatically recorded in consignor ledgers based on your selection. No Automatic Payments Payments will not be recorded. Pay Final Ledger Balance Positive ledger balances will be automatically have payments recorded, leaving a zero balance in all consignor ledgers. These payments will account for the sale being settled as well as any current ledger balances (positive or negative). Pay Sale-Related Sales and Fees Only Only credits and charges related to the sale being settled will be automatically paid. This may result in positive or negative ledger balances being left on consignor ledgers. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 135 of 153

11.3 Customize the Consignor Settlement Reports You will probably want to customize the various options for the consignor settlement reports prior to generating them. Use the form provided to enter text into whichever section(s) you desire. No customizations are required, so only provide text for those you would like. Important: Please be sure to select the Save Customizations button after making changes in order to apply those changes. Otherwise, the changes will not be reflected in the reports and may be lost. Customize Consignor Settlement Reports Form Tip: Each text field can have as much text as you would like. It will expand as you reach the end of the line or hit the enter key. 11.4 Testing Consignor Settlement Report Output As you customize the settlement reports options, you will want to view a sample of what your entries will look like in the actual reports. Use the Generate Sample Report PDF button to generate an actual PDF file that will contain a single consignor report for you to view. FlashConsign.com Consignee Guide Page 136 of 153

11.5 Generate a Settlement Report for a Specific Consignor You may find that you need to generate, or more likely re-generate, a consignor settlement report for a specific consignor. This may happen if you needed to correct an error that was on the original report after resolving the issue that caused the error. To generate a single consignor s settlement report, select the consignor using the drop-down selector and then select the Generate Single Consignor Report PDF button. Generating a Settlement Report for a Single Consignor 11.6 Generate Settlement Reports for All Consignors After you have customized, saved and tested the settlement reports for this consignment sale, select the Generate All Consignor Reports PDF button to start generating the settlement reports for all consignors for this consignment sale. Generating Settlement Reports for ALL Consignors Please be patient!
