Overview Production stages are used to outline the production process of each of your products. Each production stage has inputs and transforms them into outputs, both of which should be separate items on your Link table. Production Stages would issue order cards externally or to other departments to replenish necessary supplies, and production is triggered by receiving order cards from another part of your operation. This list of Production Stages is not associated with any product until you create that product’s Production Process. When defining the Production Process for each of your Products, you will select which of these Production Stages that process requires and add additional details. This is simply meant to define the various parts of your process, and a particular product can require any number of these stages. Defining your Production Stages helps determine each of your products’ cost of goods by outlining the quantity of inputs required to create each output. The various processes undertaken during each production stage and the amount of time each process takes are outlined in the Table table.

Overview Production Flows are the sub-processes that occur in each of your Table and are used to help measure the amount of time each stage takes to complete. When defining the production process of your Table, Production Flows can involve one or many inputs, and help create the outputs that are defined in the associated Table.

Add a new private account and follow the prompts from the Gmail pop-up that should appear to authenticate and link your email address. If you use Outlook, please reach out to us and we can get your email linked as well; it’s just a little bit more tedious and we have to set it up for you Set Up Email Automation https://www.loom.com/share/f9a76e2bca524f0ea8146ad7b5387257?sid=4be1a221-9e7b-452f-a4a3-9aecc0273e33 Step-By-Step Instructions Select “Email” as the order mechanism for the items that you want to order via email. Make sure that the Supplier for that item has a name and email address filled in. Select an Order Cadence for the items that you want Arda to automatically order via email. If you select “Immediately” Arda will send an email as soon as the item is added to your cart. If you select “End of Day” the item will stay in your cart until 5:00 and then that item and any other items needed from that vendor will be aggregated into one email. Selecting a day of the week will hold the item in your cart until that particular day, and it will be similarly aggregated into one email with other items needed from that vendor. Under “Settings & Support” in the left navigation panel, expand the “Email Templates & Settings” section. There you will see four toggles which will allow you to do the following: Add the item’s taxable status to its line item Add an additional information from the “Order Description” field to each line item Choose whether you want Arda to automatically generate emails at the time you’ve selected in your “Order Cadence” and then leave them in your email queue for you to review and send. Choose whether you want Arda to actually send those emails without the review and approval step. Go into Coda’s settings by clicking the gear icon at the top right of the page and do the following: Select “Automations” Click the “Send Emails” automation. Turn the automation on using the toggle at the top of the automation pane. At the bottom of the automation pane click the bar that says “Take Action As Automation Bot”, and set the automation to take action from your personal account instead (Automation Bot cannot access you personal, third-party accounts). Go back to the list of automations and click the “Send Immediate Emails” automation all the way at the bottom. Turn the automation on using the toggle at the top of the automation pane. At the bottom of the automation pane click the bar that says “Take Action As Automation Bot”, and set the automation to take action from your personal account instead (Automation Bot cannot access you personal, third-party accounts).

Overview Once you’ve created a product, you can create a draft outline of your production process using this workflow. The draft will be saved if you need to navigate away to enter new items into the system or look for additional information, and it can be accessed by clicking the blue button in the Table table next to the associated product. Define your production process by adding Production Stages to this draft. You can do that by selecting a Production Stage from the dropdown and using the blue “Add Production Stage” button to outline the inputs, quantities, and outputs of each stage in your production process. Additionally, you can select which Production Flows are required to complete this stage and which inputs they are associated with. When you’ve finished defining your Production Stages, you can create time estimates for each Production Flow within the Production Stage by clicking the “Add Production Flows” button. The time and wage columns are populated by default with the time set in the Table table and the Default Hourly Wage set in Link under “Production”. Production Stages issue order cards to replenish supplies and production is triggered when order cards are received. As a result, each Production Stage should take inputs from your Table table and transform them into other entries in your Table table as outputs.

Groups in Coda are powerful, but, at times, confusing. Here are some resources to help navigate how Grouping functions. Overview Coda Documentation Most of the attributes that you can use to group things in Arda are what Coda calls “Relation” columns. This means that the dropdown list you’re selecting from is actually its own table, and each of the options you can select has another set of attributes associated with it, laid out in the source table. Pinned Groups You can choose to “pin” a group so that it is always visible regardless of whether or not you’ve put any items in the group. This can be useful for when you’re adding new groups and want to drag existing entries into a new group (which, because it’s new, will start blank). Adding a new Group To create a new group, you can hover over the bottom left corner of any of the existing groups in that column. You’ll notice that a plus sign will appear, and clicking it will create a new, blank group. You can click into the new, blank group to select that attribute that you want to group by. By default, this group will be empty (because it’s brand new), and pinned so that you can drag existing entries into it. Table Managing New Sub-Groups Sometimes this workflow can be very confusing. If you create a new group in a nested grouping scheme that’s a sub-category of a different group, the new, blank group will show up pinned as a sub-group for each of the parent groups. Typically the easiest way to resolve this is to select the option you want to group by, create a row in that group (dragging an existing row into the group works just as well as creating a new, blank row), and then right-click the group you just created to un-pin it. This will preserve that sub-group as an option in its parent group but get rid of it as a sub-group for the other parent groups where it doesn’t apply. Table 2
