Using ProdQueue
ProdQueue gives you a single place to track made-to-order work. Each unit becomes a job, so staff always know what to make next.
Quick start
Go to WooCommerce → Production Queue, filter by status and priority, then open a job to update it.
Production Queue list
The queue is built for speed. You can sort columns, paginate, and filter down to exactly what your team needs to see.
Status
Use status to represent your workflow. Common setup: Pending → In Progress → Completed.
Priority
Use Priority when you need to pull urgent jobs forward. Normal, High, Rush.
Search
Search by order number, product name, or job ID.
Attribute filters
Filter by configured attributes to batch similar work together.
Job detail view
Click a job to open the detail screen. This is where staff update status and keep context close by.
- Update Status and Priority (AJAX, no reload).
- Jump directly to the linked Order and Product.
- View job attributes and metadata.
- Job events are recorded via WooCommerce order notes.
Working from the Order screen
On each order, the Production Jobs panel shows everything linked to that order.
- See all jobs for the order at a glance.
- Update job status and priority without leaving the order.
- Create jobs manually when needed.
Manual job creation
If you need a job that wasn’t created automatically, you can add one manually.
- Choose an existing order item, or pick any product.
- Set quantity, status, and priority.
- If quantity is more than 1, ProdQueue splits into multiple jobs.
Useful shortcuts
- Screen Options lets you choose which attribute columns show in the queue.
- Use default filters in settings to control what staff see first.
- Keep cancelled jobs as history, but filtered out of active views.
