Collection Chart

[wheresthekarma]

Is it possible to make a Chart so we know what products go in what categories to make them show up in the new collection slots? 

I say this because I can't RSVP cards or Save the Dates, or wedding napkins or wedding stickers or any candy favors to show up in the proper slots. I have tried to change categories so many times and I'm wasting a ton of time.

Help, we need a chart so that we know what to categorize things under so we aren't just wasting time with every single thing we create let alone all the past collections that aren't right.

Just here to support you on this, I have spent so much time faffing - trying to find out how to get stuff to show up. The only solution right now is to tap on the "slot" and read the "Matching results from" bit to find out what category to use. Also I am finding myself having to have two browser tabs open to complete this task.

Yes me too, it's feeling really overwhelming trying to figure this all out. Thank you for the tip on the slot though. I didn't know that. I will try that.

Wow, Andrea, that actually worked. Thank you!

I think it depends which marketplace department categories that your products are in.

For napkins check they are in Weddings> Décor & Party Supplies> Décor>Table Serving & Décor> Napkins
and then maybe they'll show?

I know there's been issued with candy favors not appearing - check out the the forum we've got just for collection woes https://community.zazzle.com/t5/new-collection-types-information/bd-p/collections

I actually made one--spent nearly the whole day on it, deciphering the marketing department blather into plain English.  But I don't know how to get it to you.  I've posted it on Facebook in one of the groups--Hey Zazzlers!--posted on July 23--and you could join the group and download from there.  Or you could friend me on FB and I'll PM it to you (if I can figure out how to attach the file...Messenger is not my strongest skill)--oh, wait! I just looked at the toolbar, maybe I can attach it there...   OMG!  IT WORKED!!!  Well, use it in good health, remembering that it's just my efforts to make sense of all this stuff, with no guarantees whatsoever.   Especially the bottom row--just li'l ol' me trying to figure out what kind of listings would fit.   Good luck. -- Oh, one more thing-- I left off the "Other" category; from what they wrote it sounds like they aren't going to make any effort to promote listings from those collections, so they're just kind of a storage bin so you don't lose track of a listing while you figure out where else it might belong.

It would be great if RSVP cards didn't have to be in the specific occasion in order to show up as RSVP cards within a collection. 

For example, I have a wedding suite with matching RSVP cards. 
Also a bridal shower invitation, engagement party invitation, and could make a birthday party invitation that match.

I shouldn't have to make an RSVP card for each different event in order to put it in the collection, because the RSVP cards could be used for ANY event.

Could it be made possible that ANY RSVP or enclosure card designation can be put into an RSVP or Enclosure card slot within a collection?
