New! Partially Approved Design Status Now in InfoFlo Print

How to Enable Partially Approved Design Status in Print MIS Software

Managing multi-item orders with individual artwork approvals can be complex in a print shop. That’s why InfoFlo Print now supports a partially approved design status to streamline this process. This feature is ideal for shops that handle different pieces of artwork for multiple products in a single order.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to enable this feature, step-by-step.

What Is Partially Approved Design Status?

The partially approved design status allows a job in design to show as “partially approved” when only some items within the order have approved artwork. This is useful when customers approve certain product designs while others are still pending.

When to Use Partially Approved Artwork in a Print Order

Long-tail keywords included here:

• partially approved artwork for multi-item orders

• print shop workflow with individual artwork approvals

• artwork approval by item in print MIS

If your print order includes multiple items—each with different artwork—this feature lets you track which items have been approved without holding up the entire job.

Step-by-Step: How to Enable Partially Approved Design Status

Follow these steps to activate the partially approved design feed in your print MIS system:

1. Upload Artwork to Each Product

   • Go to the job/order screen.

   • Upload artwork for each item individually.

   • Ensure at least two items have files attached for demonstration.

2. Access System Settings

   • Click on Settings from the left-hand menu.

   • Use the search bar and type design.

3. Enable Internal-Only Design Production Sending

   • Look for the option: Only internal users can send design to production.

   • Toggle it on and click Save.

4. Enable Partially Approved Design Feed

   • In the search bar, type partially.

   • Enable the setting: Enable partially approved design feed.

   • Click Save.

5. Approve Artwork for One Product

   • Open the job as a customer.

   • Approve artwork for only one product in the order.

   • Leave the other item(s) unapproved.

6. Watch the Status Update

   • Refresh the page.

   • The status will update to Partially Approved—reflecting that some, but not all, items have approved artwork.

Why This Matters for Print Shops

Using partially approved design status for multi-item print orders helps:

• Improve communication between your design team and customers

• Prevent delays for items already approved

• Allow better visibility into approval status for each product

• Keep production organized and accurate

This is especially valuable in wide-format, custom apparel, or promotional printing where every item may have unique artwork.

Conclusion

With InfoFlo Print’s partially approved artwork feature, your team can manage complex orders more efficiently and avoid production bottlenecks. If your customers often approve items at different times, this feature is a must-have in your print MIS workflow.
