Start with the right account

A workspace is a view of the records you are allowed to use. Choosing a role in this guide does not grant that role.

4.1

Sign in or create an account

  1. Open Sign in. Use email and password, or an available provider displayed on the page.
  2. New users choose Create account and follow the email verification message. Return to the same intended account journey after confirmation.
  3. Use the identity that was granted access to the property, contractor application, shop or staff workspace.

What should happenYour verified identity opens its authorised workspace.

Google appears only when configured. Phone-code delivery is not currently active; the house and contractor account routes use verified email instead.

4.2

Choose your workspace

  1. Open My workspaces to see the activities your verified account can use. One account can have home, workplace, shared-property, contractor, supplier and staff access when granted.
  2. Use Working as / Switch workspace to change activity. In a property overview, choose Show this place to narrow the records, then Update overview. Account tools labelled all authorised properties retain their wider scope.
  3. If an activity is missing, use All workspaces & add a role or ask the appropriate administrator to check your membership. Choosing a purpose on the public website does not grant private access.

What should happenYou use the appropriate workspace and property without creating another identity.

4.3

Use this guide while you work

  1. Choose your role to narrow the chapters, or choose Everyone to see the entire workflow. Search for a task or a button label.
  2. Open a chapter, follow its steps, then use the workspace link when you are ready to act. Mark a step reviewed to save your reading progress on this device.
  3. Use Print / save PDF for a copy of the whole guide. On a shared device, clear your tutorial progress when you finish.

What should happenYour reading checklist helps you resume later.

Tutorial checkmarks never create requests, approve quotes, complete jobs or change permissions. No account details or work records are stored in this checklist.

Supplier: register and maintain your catalogue

Your account owns your shop. You can prepare offers while verification is pending; only verified shops appear publicly.

10.1

Open your supplier workspace

  1. Choose Supplier from Get started and sign in with the email that should manage the business.
  2. Enter your business name, confirm your authority and accept the displayed conditions and privacy policy.
  3. Create the supplier workspace, then prepare listings while business verification is pending.

What should happenYour own supplier dashboard opens.

Registration does not start a paid shelf agreement. Only a verified business publishes public offers.

10.2

Create a product listing

  1. Choose Add a product. Upload up to six JPG, PNG or WebP photos, at most 4 MB each and 16 MB total. Enter the confirmed product name, price, sold-by unit and quantity.
  2. Add the category, variant, description, compatibility, warranty, lead time and delivery information. State whether the listed price includes applicable taxes. Your optional cost price is private.
  3. Save as Draft to prepare privately, or choose Publish after shop verification. Use Duplicate / add variant for another size or colour, give it a distinct name and confirm its own price and stock. Archive hides a listing from new buyers.

What should happenYour listing is saved with the selected visibility. Only published listings from verified shops appear publicly.

A photo does not establish specifications or stock. Confirm the actual details before publishing.

10.3

Update, preview and promote a product

  1. Select Edit listing beside the intended product. Save its changed details; if someone updated it meanwhile, reopen the latest version before saving. Reserved units cannot be removed by lowering the quantity.
  2. Choose Preview & promotion card for that product. Review the actual details, download the portrait card and copy its caption with the tracked product link. Draft products produce an internal draft card.
  3. Share only a verified published listing with confirmed details. After changing a price or availability, generate a fresh card and update earlier posts. Use Cancel editing to leave a form without saving.

What should happenYour shop can maintain products and create its own promotion material without developer help or a paid image-generation call.

Each account edits only its own shop. A suspended shop needs staff review before editing can resume.

10.4

Import products or refresh your stock

  1. Open Stock & bulk upload. Export your catalogue to update existing products, or download a blank template for new products. Keep the product identifier in exported rows.
  2. Upload the CSV and choose Preview changes. Review the product, price, branch and quantity. Correct any errors in the file, then preview it again.
  3. Choose Apply these changes to save the reviewed import. Preview alone never changes stock. If another update has happened meanwhile, preview again before applying.

What should happenYour catalogue is updated in one reviewed batch, without changing existing photos, warranties or private costs.

10.5

Respond to a product request

  1. Open Product requests in the supplier dashboard. Check the product, quantity and delivery location.
  2. Confirm actual availability and add an update with lead time or the next step.
  3. Save the response. The buyer sees it in Store requests. Edifia handles any separately requested installation scope.

What should happenThe buyer and supplier share the request and availability update.

Availability confirmation does not reserve stock, issue a final invoice or collect payment.

When something is blocked

Find the next useful action.

Use the saved record and the actual error to decide what to do next.

A sign-in or verification code does not arrive

Check the phone number and country code, any displayed delivery message and the wait period before retrying. Code delivery is not active until its provider is connected. Do not guess a code or create repeated property records. Email/password access is available for verified accounts; phone-code delivery remains inactive.

My property, job or shop is missing

Check which account you signed into. A property is visible only through its associated identity or permitted access; a crew job must be assigned to that crew; a supplier catalogue belongs to its registered account. Ask the record owner or founder to check the assignment. Switching the tutorial role does not switch accounts.

A photo or document will not upload

Keep the original file. Read the error, check the connection and the file requirements shown on that form, then retry and reopen the saved record. A filename beside an upload field is not confirmation that it was stored.

The crew Submit button is locked

Review before evidence, after evidence, the materials declaration, safety checks and arrival/location. Save each required item first. If a check cannot be completed, report the reason to the operator for review; do not invent evidence. Customer and supervisor reviews occur after the relevant work steps.

The result is wrong, access failed, or work must be cancelled

Use the customer response on the job when available, or open Exceptions, select the property, choose the issue kind and describe what happened. Include the job reference. The office must review the follow-up; recording an exception alone does not cancel an invoice or issue a refund.

Open Exceptions ↗
My saved product is not visible publicly

Check the shop status. Pending shops can prepare offers, but a founder must verify the business before publication. A suspended shop is not public. If verified, clear marketplace filters and check the saved product name, price and stock. CSV validation alone does not create offers.

Check your catalogue ↗
A billing record exists: has money moved?

Not necessarily. An internal draft or manually recorded collected status is not bank or processor confirmation. Live Envoice issuance and payment reconciliation remain unconnected. Resolve payment questions against the actual invoice issuer and supporting payment records.

A plan, building, abroad or handover section is empty

It may need an associated record, approved terms or additional access. An empty section does not activate a plan, grant authority, confirm building finances or transfer records. Follow the stated prerequisite; if no action is offered, leave the item pending for the responsible reviewer.
