Sidebar

Actions — buttons change based on the current status (see Status Workflow below).

Timeline — visual timeline showing:

• Created date (green dot)
• Due date (amber dot, red if overdue)

Status Workflow

Alterations follow a linear status progression:

Current Status	Action Button	Next Status
Pending	Start Work	In Progress
In Progress	Mark as Ready	Ready
Ready	Mark as Delivered	Delivered

Any alteration that isn't delivered or cancelled can also be cancelled via the Cancel Alteration button (requires confirmation).

Notifications

When an alteration is marked as Ready, BridalOp automatically notifies the customer:

• Email — "Your Alterations Are Ready" with store name, location, and contact details
• SMS — a text message letting them know their alterations are ready for pickup

Both are sent automatically if the customer has an email address or phone number on file.

Tailor Assignment

Only staff members with the Tailor role appear in the tailor dropdown — on both the creation form and in the list filter. Tailors can be assigned when creating an alteration or updated later via Edit Details.

To give a staff member the Tailor role, go to Staff > [Staff Member] > Edit and assign the "Tailor" role.

Edit Details

Click Edit Details in the sidebar to update:

• Assigned Tailor
• Due Date
• Price
• Notes

This option is available as long as the alteration isn't delivered or cancelled.
