This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

Marking an accessory as “Required” ensures it’s automatically added to a project any time the parent item is added. This is helpful when certain components (like extension cords for speakers) must always be included—even if they’re not client-facing.


Example Use Case

You're setting up a Speaker in your inventory. You want:

  • A 12-foot extension cable to be required (always included for fulfillment but hidden from the client)

  • A Speaker Podium to be optional (available but not automatically added)

How to Set a Required Accessory

  1. Go to the item’s page (e.g., Speaker).

  2. Click the “Relations” tab, then choose “Accessories.”

  3. Add the accessory (e.g., Extension Cable).

  4. Check the boxes for:

    • Required

    • Hidden (optional—hides the item from the contract but keeps it on internal documents)

  5. Leave boxes blank for optional accessories (e.g., Speaker Podium).

What Happens on a Project

  • Required accessories are automatically added when the main item is added to a project.

  • If Hidden, the client won’t see the item or be charged for it.

  • Your team will still see it on pull sheets and during fulfillment.

  • Optional accessories show up under the “View Relations” button for easy manual add-ons.

Looking for a different way to suggest related items without linking them as accessories? You can also prompt your team to add additional items on a project using notes and internal reminders.
