Custom types

A custom type is a diaper type you create yourself, for a product that is not in the official catalog. Custom types work everywhere an official type does: stock, history and stats.

Create a custom type

1. In the Catalog, tap
   Create custom diaper
   .
2. Fill in the four steps.
3. Tap Save (enabled once the Name is at least 3 characters and there is at least one size).

Step 1 — General

• Name — required, at least 3 characters.
• Brand — optional; start typing to pick an existing catalog brand, or leave it empty.
• Usage — Disposable or Reusable.
• Category — filtered by the usage you chose.
• Image link — optional. A link to an image of the diaper. It must be a URL ending in .png, .jpg, .jpeg or .webp — there is no file upload.

Step 2 — Features

All optional, and the fields shown depend on the usage and category: Target, Fasteners with Tabs per side, Backing material, Wetness indicator, Landing Zone, and a Discontinued switch.

Step 3 — Sizes

At least one size is required.

Each size has:

• Size Name — for example M, L, 2XL, 8-15, 5, 5+.
• Absorption — optional, in millilitres.
• Sizes recommendations — optional fit guidelines. Each has a Category, a Unit (the conversion between units is automatic, so you only fill one), a Min Value and/or Max Value, and an optional Origin.

If you intend to propose the type, name sizes the way the catalog does — see the size nomenclature rules: factorise repeated X's (2XS, 3XL, not XXS/XXXL), list sizes in ascending order, use English, use age instead of weight for youth diapers, and separate range boundaries with a dash (8y-15y).

Step 4 — Variants

Optional. Define product variations such as gender, colour or design. Each variant has a Variant Name, an optional Image, and a Discontinued switch. The What is a valid variant? info sheet gives valid and invalid examples.

Edit or delete a custom type

Open the custom type's page and use the Edit button (or long-press its tile in the catalog list). This reopens the same four-step form, pre-filled.

• Merge with official type — merge this custom type into an existing official type.
• Delete — remove the custom type. The history will not be affected.
