01Overview

Suggested InputsAdmins only: Open Settings and choose Suggested Inputs, under Captures. When someone adds photos to a new Capture, Superlister looks at the first one and asks a few questions about details photos can’t show, such as a size or a model number. The answers go to the listing writer along with the photos, so the listing starts with the right facts. Only workspace admins can change these settings, and only in workspaces where Suggested Inputs is available.

02Turn it on

Both switches save as soon as you change them.

Pre-create suggested inputs: Turns Suggested Inputs on for the workspace. It starts off. While it’s off you can still prepare question sets, but no photos are checked and no questions are asked. Turning it off also stops any checks already under way.
Allow AI-generated questions: Lets Superlister write its own questions for the item. It starts on. When it’s off, questions only come from your switched-on question sets.

03Default question sets

Ready-made sets from Superlister, such as Clothing size and Footwear size.

Default question sets: Each set shows its version, how many questions it has, and its trigger guidance, which tells Superlister when to use it. The defaults themselves can’t be edited.
Enable: Makes an editable copy of the set for your workspace and switches it on.
Customise and the switch: Once enabled, Customise opens your copy in the question set editor, and the switch turns the set on or off. Switching it off keeps your changes.
Update: Appears, with an Update available badge, when Superlister releases a newer version of a set you’ve enabled. Choosing it asks you to confirm first.
Replace with the latest default?: Choose Update question set to replace your copy with the latest default. Any changes you made to it are replaced. Captures already created keep the version they used. Cancel keeps your copy as it is.

04Custom question sets

Your own sets, for the kinds of item you list most.

New set: Opens the editor to create a set from scratch. It starts with one blank question and is switched on when you save it. A workspace can have up to 50 sets, including enabled defaults and sets that are switched off.
Your sets: The switch turns a set on or off. The badge shows its revision, which goes up each time you save a change. Captures already created keep the revision they used. Choose Edit to change the set. Sets can’t be deleted, so switch off any you no longer need.

05The question set editor

Opens from New set, Edit or Customise. Nothing is saved until you choose Save question set.

Name and Description: The Name shows in your list, up to 100 characters. The Description is an optional note for your team.
Trigger guidanceRequired: Tells Superlister when the set applies, for example: Select for varsity or letterman jackets. Do not select for ordinary blazers. Superlister reads the guidance and the first photo to decide which sets to use. Up to 1,500 characters.
Show advanced: Shows the Attribute key beside each question, a fixed name for the answer used by the listing writer. For a new question it’s filled in from the question as you type, so you rarely need to change it. Use lowercase letters, numbers and underscores. Hide advanced hides it again.
Add question: Adds a blank question to the end of the list. A set can have up to 12 questions.
Remove question: The bin removes the question. A set always keeps at least one.
QuestionRequired: What people are asked, up to 160 characters.
Input type: How people answer: Text, Number, Dropdown, Dropdown + free text, Multi select or Yes / no. Dropdown + free text shows your options plus an Other choice with a box to type in. The fields below change to match.
Placeholder and DescriptionOptional: The Placeholder is hint text shown in the answer box. The Description is help shown with the question.
Mandatory: People must answer the question before they can create the Capture. It’s marked Required when they see it.
Options: The choices for a dropdown or multi select. A question needs at least two and can have up to 30, each up to 80 characters and all different. The option’s text is what goes to the listing writer. Choose Add option for another, or the bin to remove one. For a Multi select, Allow a custom value lets people add their own answer too.
Min, Max, Step and Unit: For Number questions. Min and Max limit the answer, Step sets the increments, and Unit, such as in or cm, shows beside the box. All are optional.
Maximum length: For Text questions. Limits how many characters people can type, up to 500.
Save question set: Saves the set and closes the editor. If something is missing, such as a dropdown with fewer than two options, the problem shows above the buttons instead. Cancel closes without saving.

06While capturing

Suggested details: After photos are added to a new Capture, the page shows Checking your photos, then the questions under Suggested details. Questions marked Required must be answered. Others can be skipped one at a time with Skip, or all at once with Skip optional, or Skip all when none are required.
