Create a remnant listing

Before you start

What you need:

• A desktop or laptop with a current browser (Chrome, Edge, or Safari). A phone works in a pinch, but the desktop editor supports drag-and-drop and photo cropping.
• Your RemnantFlow sign-in — the email your invitation was sent to plus the password you set from the invite email, or the matching Google account.
• The remnant packet from the shop: photo file(s) in JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF, and the width and height in inches (plus two extra measurements for L-shaped pieces).
• Sometimes the packet also carries the stone details: material, stone/color name, thickness, and finish. When they are missing, filling them in is your job.

• Your sign-in email and password (or the Google account).
• The photo file(s) from the packet.
• Width and height in inches; for an L-shaped piece, the two extra measurements.
• Any stone details the packet includes: material, stone name, thickness, finish.

Steps 4 through 17 all happen inside one “Add Remnant” window. You scroll within that window as you work; you do not leave the page until the checks in Part 6.

Part 1 · Sign in and open the workspace

1. 1

   Step 1. Go to yourshop.remnantflow.com/portal in your web browser.

   • Replace “yourshop” with your shop's own address — the one in your invitation email.
2. 2

   Step 2. Sign in with your shop account: select “Continue with Google,” or type your email and password and select “Sign in.”

   • Result: You land on the staff workspace at yourshop.remnantflow.com/manage.
   • If it fails: “Enter your email and password.” means one of the two boxes is empty. If you cannot sign in at all, use the “Forgot password?” link below the form.
3. 3

   Step 3. Confirm that “Workspace” is the selected tab in the top navigation.

   • Below it you will see the inventory counters (Available, On hold, Sold) and the grid of existing listings.

Part 2 · Start the listing and add the photo

4. 4

   Step 4. Select the “Add remnant” button on the right side of the counter row (the half with the + icon).

   • The small arrow beside it opens a menu with “Add slab” and “Bulk upload.” Do not use those for this task.
   • Result: A window titled “Add Remnant” opens.
5. 5

   Step 5. Add the packet photo: drag the photo file onto the large box labeled “Drop a photo here,” or select the box to browse to the file.

   • Result: The message “Image loaded. You can crop it before saving.” appears.
   • If it fails: “That file isn't an image. Drop a photo instead.” means you grabbed the wrong file — often the packet PDF. Choose the photo file.
   • Each listing holds exactly one photo; there is no gallery. If the packet has several, use the clearest straight-on shot of the whole piece.
6. 6

   Step 6. Optional — select “Crop” in the Image Tools panel to frame the photo.

   • In the Crop Workspace, drag the corners of the frame around the stone. Use “Rotate Left” or “Rotate Right” if the photo is sideways. The frame is fixed at 4:3 to match the listing cards.
   • Result: Select “Save Crop.” The message “Cropped image ready to save.” appears.

Part 3 · Enter the stone details

The Stone Details section sits directly below the photo area in the same window; scroll down to it.

7. 7

   Step 7. Review the number pre-filled in the “Stone #” field and accept it — unless the packet specifies a number, in which case type the packet's number.

   • Shops often have their own numbering convention (a prefix letter for their own material, digits only in the system, and so on). Follow your shop's, and do not imitate older listings that were typed a different way.
   • If it fails: If “Stone #… is already in use” appears on the pre-filled number, accept the suggested variant (for example, 125A). If it appears on a number the packet specified, select “Cancel” and ask your manager — two pieces claiming one number means something upstream is wrong.
8. 8

   Step 8. Select the Material from the “Select material” dropdown.

   • The list is managed by your shop and covers the usual stock — granite, marble, quartz, quartzite, porcelain, and others.
   • Choosing Quartz or Porcelain reveals an extra “Brand” box. Fill it in if the packet names a brand.
9. 9

   Step 9. Type the stone's name in the “Stone Name” box.

   • Suggestions may appear as you type. These are stones the system has seen before for your selected material — select a match when one exists instead of retyping, which keeps naming consistent and may auto-fill the Brand and Colors. Nothing appearing is normal for a stone that is new to the system.
   • The list does not check or correct spelling. Whatever you type is saved as typed, so copy the name exactly as your source gives it.
10. 10

    Step 10. Select the Finish from the “Select finish” dropdown.

    • If the packet does not state a finish, select Polished. Stones are polished by default unless stated otherwise.
    • If the piece is finished differently on each side, also set “Secondary finish.”
11. 11

    Step 11. Select the Thickness — “2 CM” or “3 CM” for most countertop stock.

    • The MM options are for thin porcelain panels.
12. 12

    Step 12. Select the color chip(s) in the Colors panel that match the stone.

    • Select a chip to toggle it. The storefront shows up to three colors per listing.
    • If the stone's color has no chip you may select “+ Color” to add one. Double-check the spelling first: a new color becomes a permanent chip and cannot be renamed from this screen.

Part 4 · Enter the measurements

The Width and Height boxes are at the bottom of the Stone Details section, still in the same window.

13. 13

    Step 13. Type the width in inches in the “Width” box.

    • Decimals and fractions both work: 36.5 or 36 1/2.
14. 14

    Step 14. Type the height in inches in the “Height” box, the same way.

15. 15

    Step 15. If the piece is L-shaped, check “L-Shape” and type the “L Width” and “L Height” from the packet.

    • Unchecking “L-Shape” erases both L measurements.

Part 5 · Set visibility and save

The visibility checkbox and the save buttons are at the bottom of the window, below the measurements.

16. 16

    Step 16. Decide whether this piece belongs on the public storefront.

    • Leave “Hide from public page” unchecked to publish it. This is the normal case — the remnant page exists for customers to browse.
    • Check the box to keep the piece internal, for example a piece reserved for a job.
17. 17

    Step 17. Review every box against the packet one last time, then select “Create Remnant” at the bottom right.

    • Result: The message “Remnant created.” appears, the window closes, and the new card appears in the grid.
    • If it fails: “Company, material, thickness, and stone name are required” — one of those four is empty. Fix it and select “Create Remnant” again.
    • If it fails: “Width and height are required” — also appears when a measurement was typed in a form the system cannot read, such as “36in”. Use digits, decimals, or fractions only.

Part 6 · Verify the finished listing

At this point your listing exists. These last steps confirm it matches the packet and looks right where customers will see it.

18. 18

    Step 18. Find the new card in the workspace grid and check it against the packet.

    • Check the photo, the number in the top-left pill, the size (shown with inch marks, for example 36.5" x 24.25"), the thickness, the finish, and the colors.
19. 19

    Step 19. Select the globe icon (“View public site”) in the top navigation to open your public remnant page, and find your listing there.

    • If you hid the piece in Step 16 it will not be on the public page. Instead, confirm its workspace card shows a small “Hidden” badge.

That's a complete remnant listing. Every field you entered is now what a customer sees.
