Reviews: How to Organize and Share Feedback from a Sample
We know how crucial it is for brands to provide suppliers with accurate feedback on each sample. Clear and precise feedback helps avoid unnecessary samples and saves time in the development process.
To assist you in providing these precise feedback effectively, Rechain PLM offers the ‘Reviews’ feature
To create a sample Review, go to the 'Reviews' tab (1) and click on the '+ New' button (2)
Now you see the side panel for creating a review, in which you can:
Specify the title of the review
Specify the sizes of the received prototypes
Add photos of the prototype (optional, can be added later)
Click on '+ Add Review' to confirm the creation of your review."
First, let's see how to add pictures of your sample to a review.
As mentioned previously, it is possible to add a photo during the creation of the review. But it is also possible to add one later at any time. For this, two options exist:
Click on the "Upload Files" button to import a photo from your computer's file explorer.
Click on the "Add via phone" button to add the QR code from your phone.
Let's take a closer look at this second option. After clicking on the 'Add via phone' button, a QR code appears on the screen. Scan this QR code with your phone's camera and open the suggested link.
Here is the page that opens in your browser. To add a photo, click on the "+" button in the middle of the screen.
Three options are available to you for adding photos:
Add a photo from your phone's photo library.
Open your camera and add the photo you just took.
Add a photo from your phone's file explorer.
After selecting a photo, it will automatically appear in the review.
Now that you have the picture(s) you need in your review, you can:
Annotate each picture to share precise comments.
Draw and comment points of measure
Draw lines, shapes and add text directly to the picture
To help you be even more precise in your comments, you can link to:
A component from the bill of material of this product
A point of measure from the size chart of this product
You can answer to a comment at any time and tag other users using "@".
You can also add photos to a review from the Illustrator plugin. To learn more about this feature, click here.
The second tab of a review is dedicated to the measurements of the sample(s). This tab allows you to communicate your feedback efficiently regarding the points of measure of the sample(s) you received. The table will automatically display the sizes you selected at the creation of the review. You can update the sizes linked to this review at any time using the "Edit" button in the top right corner.
This table functions like a spreadsheet: click in the cell of your choice to add a measurement. The data is saved automatically.
The results are now saved, automatically interpreted by the platform, and ready to be shared with your team and manufacturer.
This tab allows you to add a general comment to your Review, which may not be directly related to a specific photo or measurement point. It will be displayed as the first section of your review when you export your tech pack.
You can also adjust the formatting of the text in this comment. To learn more about this, click here.
Once you consider that your review is ready, you have several options to share it:
Users with access to this product on Rechain can already view it.
