Production Reports- Using custom fields and Shipdate

[kdowell]

We are looking for a way to pull a production report.  We will be using custom field 1 to put in our packers names- and run a daily report on their packages.  We currently write these down on our order sheets and then hand count these at the end of the day.  My dilemma is that ship date only works under the shipment tab and custom fields only can be seen under the order tab.  I want both of these pieces of information daily.  Ultimately making a pulldown list under Custom Field would be amazing.

Hello @kdowell, 

First off, thank you for being a part of our community and for taking the time to reach out. 

You should be able to get the export your are looking for with a custom export from the Shipments tab.  You should be able to get both the ship date and custom field one this way. If you want to learn more about eligible fields and how to make your custom export, you can read this help center article. 

Additionally, depending on if your workers share or have their own logins, you can use the assignee function. This will allow you to not only to assign orders to your shippers, but also you will be able to use the Shipment count by user report ( Located under Insights > Reports > Shipments > Shipment Count by User).

Hopefully this helps you out,
