📊Unavailable DABs

When initially created, a number of DABs will be marked as "unavailable" to give the appearance of the artwork already having a number of sold DABs

When artwork is fractionalized in the Museum App, 20% of the DABs created are marked as "unavailable". This means that they will not be available for purchase through the website. They will appear as "Unavailable" to users when selecting their DAB.

The strategy for releasing these unavailable tiles still needs to be discussed and implemented. Here are a few of the options we have discussed previously.

• A Museum Administrator can manually release all unavailable tiles through the Museum Application at whichever moment they choose.

• Once the number of sold DABs reaches a certain threshold, all unavailable tiles are released.

• Each time a DAB is purchased, one random unavailable tile is made available

Manually process for making an unavailable tile available for sale.

This manual process requires some extra care, because an mistake in saving the tile data could cause errors.

First, find the ID of the tile that you would like to release. you can do this by hovering over the tile. In the image below, the tile ID is "505"

A Comission Administrator can then log into the Shopify admin and navigate to the artwork product to be edited.

In the metafields for this product, there is a metafield named "Unavailable Tiles". This value is an array of numbers, with each number being the ID of a tile that is unavailable. To release a tile, you would edit this array and omit the ID of the tile you would like to release. Use caution here, as re-saving the array with a syntax error could cause issues on the website.
