Build your wishlist and gift registry.

How to build your wishlist and gift registry

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Build wishlists around priorities, reservations and the visibility each owner chooses.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the owner records the item and how the invited collaborator reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your wishlist and gift registry

• Keep the item in context

  Keep item, owner, priority, reservation, gift status and visibility together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  Two guests try to reserve the same gift. Keep reservations distinct from purchased gifts and resolve the conflict before showing a confirmed reservation.

• Keep visibility visible

  Keep a private item out of a shared view until its owner changes permission.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the owner a working view and the invited collaborator a review view. Keep item and owner attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
