Give your makers the board, and keep the money private

The board has its own permission

Roles now carry a Production Board permission of its own, separate from Sales. A tailor, finisher or quality checker can open the board, move pieces and log waste, and the app shows them only the menus their role can use. Cost, margin, sales totals and customer contact details stay out of view for any role without Sales. There is also a new Tailor starting point among the role templates, and the Production Manager, Quality Control and Finisher templates now include the board.

Why the board and the money are split

On a workshop floor, the people doing the work need the pieces, the stages and the measurements, and nothing about what the customer paid. Tying the board to Sales meant you had to show your money to let someone sew. Now Sales is the one switch that decides who sees money, and the board is a separate tick. The board's levels read in plain words: See opens the board, Change lets them move pieces and log waste, and Add, Change and Remove together let them give work to other people.

Bring the whole team in

You can invite every maker onto their own login instead of sharing one admin account, so the activity log shows who moved what, and your pricing stays yours. A production manager who is not the owner can also hand out work, once you allow it.

How to use it

1. Open Settings, then Roles & Permissions, and tap Create Role.
2. Under Start from your team, pick Tailor, or tick Production Board under Making yourself and choose its level.
3. Leave Sales unticked for anyone who should not see prices, costs or customer contact details, then save the role.
4. To let a production manager hand pieces to tailors, open Settings, then General Details, and turn off Only the owner can assign work to others.
