I think that would be much better. Then it's clear that name/description is for the coupon itself, and comments is for whatever you like...like "pending trade" for example.Quote:

We can have an option where each user can tick whether or not they want their expired coupons to be deleted.
And good point about search functionality not showing expired or quantity 0 coupons :top:
Yep I agree... the less input that's needed the better.Quote:

And empty expiry field would equal no expiry specified (but since people won't be able to tell that, I can mention something along lines of: Leave empty if you do not wish to specify expiry date).
What's a pending trade? how would it affect the item list?Quote:

So what's the use of the "Value" field then?
Should we get rid of that too?
I think that should go in the description as well. There are coupons like Buy 2 All Bran Bars, etc, get up to $1.99 free apples. Something like that would be somewhat confusing to add, and/or the value would be redundant.Quote:

Also I've seen it many times where people have said not to offer coupons less than a certain value, ie $2, etc. So I think that value column is important for search purposes.Quote:

I agree Name & Description should all be one box
Leaving Expiry blank could mean that they just forgot to add it, but I guess we can just put NED in the comments box too - there are not that many with no expiry date
The thing is that it is simpler and less time consuming to simply add what you see on the face of the coupon in the description, including the value. Like $1 WUB 2 All Bran Bars. Enter the UPC, enter the expiry. When there are too many other fields, and you have to break it all up and stop and think...GAH...it takes forever as it is to type up a trade list lol. If it's too time consuming, then people won't even use it. Obviously we need a category, but otherwise, I still think the fewer fields the better.
Description including value all in one field strikes me as easier to deal with and easier to type. It will also be easier then to deal with a coupon that specifies you get x product when you buy product a and product b and product c.
The following may already be there and it is me not understanding. If all that goes in one area I would like to search for there being two or more things in that area. For example if I want to find $2 All-Bran cereal. I would like to be able to search on 2 and bran and cereal all being present. I want $2 coupons (not $0.50 for example), and cereal not all-bran bars. What is not clear to me is when there are multiple lines for the search is it "and" or "or".
And thank you so much for taking on this huge task!
Would you be able to make it auto tab rather than having to use a cursor for each category?
I agree. Plus I couldn't get the calendar to move pass the month of April.Quote:

What about an optional category for "max value" when it comes to FPCs?
That could be put in the comments field as well.Quote:

:excited:
