Frequently Asked Questions in Operations

This feature is under consideration.
Coming soon.
Demand
Why isn’t Demand updating?
Demand automatically updates every one or five minutes, depending upon your plan level. How do I know when Demand was last calculated?
You can hover over many Demand indicators to see when that particular type of Demand was last calculated, or the system indicator to see when Demand was calculated overall.
Tasks
Can I change the quantity of a task?
Unfortunately, you can't. But you can delete a task, and create another with the right quantity. Can I assign tasks to a teammate?
This feature is under consideration.
Can I print a task list?
Yes! Each task page has an icon to print tasks.

Here's a short video showing you how this works, with two windows side by side so that you can see the changes happening in each page:
Why aren’t my orders exporting to ShipStation?
