Your global pool of Vendor Types is managed under Settings->Customizations.
Marketspread provides a set of default Vendor Types - the same set that we was hardcoded in the past. Below is a list of those types.
Each Vendor Type has a color and definition associated with it. To see the definition simply hover over any of the types. See the example below.
Modifying A Vendor Type
To edit any of the provided types simply click on it in the list. This will open the type edit window. There you can adjust the Color, Name and Description.
Adding A New Vendor Type
To add a new Vendor Type click on the blue + Add Vendor Type button.
This will open the create new vendor type window as shown below. In this example I selected a blue color, named the new vendor type "Antique Dealer" and added the description shown.
Clicking the blue Add button will add it to your global vendor type pool. In this case the new "Antique Dealer" Vendor Type is now available in the global pool of types.
Removing a Vendor Type
To remove a vendor type click on the red trash can button.
In the example below we selected "Service", "Speciality Food Artisan" and "Youth Vendor.
Clicking on the red Delete button will present you with the confirmation window shown below. Clicking on the red Delete button in the confirmation window will finalize the deletion of the types selected.
Starting From Scratch With Your Own Vendor Types
If you would like to start from scratch with your own vendor types you can simply remove all the default vendor types and create your own set.
Managing A Market Or Event With No Vendor Types
Some markets and events will not want to track vendor types at all. This is easy to accomplish by removing all types from the global pool. With no Vendor Types defined your vendor will not be asked to select a type as part of the application process.
