How to...

A brief guide to using FAVES Pro.

With the FAVES app you have overview across all your brands.

How do I add brands?

When you first open the FAVES Pro app, your brand list is empty. To add the brands that are relevant for your store, do the following:

Tap the “Settings” button in bottom right corner.
On the Settings screen, tap “My Brands”.
Tap “Add/Remove Brands” at the bottom of the screen.
Use the search box or scroll through the list to find your brands, then tap to select. You can select as many as you want.
If you don’t find a brand after typing the full name in the search box, tap the plus button (+) to create a new brand and add it to your list.
When you are done adding brands, tap the “Save” button in the top right corner.

Stay on top of your buying budget with the FAVES app

How do I enter my budget?

FAVES helps you keep track of your season budget and individual brand budgets. To enter your budget information, do the following:

Tap the “Budget” button, in bottom menu.
On Budget screen, enter your expected season budget.
To add a brand budget, tap “Add Brand Budget” and select the brand.
On the Brand Budget screen, enter the expected brand budget.
Tap the “Save” button in the top right corner.

How do I change seasons?

FAVES Pro supports multiple seasons, as well as collections that you create yourself. You can easily switch between your seasons and collections:

The name of the season you are currently viewing is shown at the top of the screen, for example AW19 or SS20.
To switch to another season, tap the season name.
Select the season you want to view, or tap the plus button (+) to create a collection within the selected season.

Collections are like sub-seasons, each with their own budget. The overall season budget includes all collections within the season. If you delete a collection, the styles remain within the season.

Note that if you have saved a lot of styles, it may take a few moments to download them when you change between different seasons or collections.

Import Photos

You can quickly import photos.

How do I get my pictures into FAVES?

You can quickly import photos that you have saved in your iPhone photo library.

Tap the “Settings” button at the bottom of the screen.
On the Settings screen, tap “Photo Import” located in the Options section.
Tap on “Photos” to open the photo browser and select photos to import.
Tap on “Season” to select the desired season.
Optionally, tap on “Brand” to select a brand to apply. All photos will be tagged with this brand.
Tap the “IMPORT” button to import the selected photos.

Each imported photo will be saved as a separate style. If you have several photos of the same item, you can merge them as explained in the section “How do merge, edit, or delete multiple styles?” on this page.

How do I avoid buying similar items?

Using the Search function, you can quickly see what you have bought. For example, it’s easy to see if you have already bought white shirts before you buy any more. To get an overview of what you have bought, do the following:

Tap the “Search” button at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the “Category” button, and select the categories you want to search for.
Tap the “Save” button in the top right corner.
To look for specific colors, tap the “Color” button and select the colors you want to search for.
Tap the “Save” button.
Tap the “Show Results” button to see the styles.

How do I manage the categories?

To get you started, your category list shows a sampling of frequently used product categories.

To optimize the category list to fit your needs, do the following:

Tap the “Settings” button, in bottom right corner.
On the Settings screen, tap “Categories”.
To rearrange the icons, tap and hold, then drag to a new location.
To see all available categories, tap “Add/Remove Categories” at the bottom of the screen.
Select or deselect the categories that you want to be shown or hidden.
Tap the “Save” button in the top right corner.

How do I merge, edit, or delete multiple styles?

You can quickly delete styles, or change the brand, season, or order status of multiple styles at once using the multi-edit function. You can also combine multiple styles using the merge function.

Tap the “Select” button at the top of the Faves gallery screen.
Tap on the styles you want to change. A tick mark appears on the selected styles.
Tap the appropriate button at the bottom of the screen: “Merge”, “Edit” or “Delete”.

To merge styles, they must be the same brand and category (if specified), and must not have conflicting price information or delivery dates. Conflicting colors or notes will be combined.
