How to Use Lists

How to use Card Lists to set specific cards as bin criteria

Card lists allow for lists of specific cards to be used as bin criteria.  They can be created on the sort page itself, or you can import your own CSV file.

Creating a List

Importing a List

Using Lists

Creating a List

  • Click on List from the top menu.


Card List and Bin Conditions are mutually exclusive.  You may only use one or the other per bin.   Lot Count applies to either.

  • Click Create List in the top right corner, select your game, and click Next.

create_list_2

  • Add cards by searching for them by name.  All possible variants of that card (foil versions will be included with the base card unless specified, see below) will be listed based on your search.
    • Added cards will be listed in alphabetical order
    • Additional search and filter options are planned for a future update

There are the following additional properties:

Foil Type - MTG, Lorcana, One Piece
Selectable as Any, Foil, or Normal.  This will specify if this is any version, only foil, or not foil.
Foil Type - Pokémon
Selectable as Any, Normal, Holofoil, or Reverse Holofoil.  This will specify whether it is any version, holofoil, reverse holofoil, or not a foil.  The specific holo/reverse holo/normal options will not be present if the card does not have that variant. 

Min Qty
The minimum accepted number of this card within your lot.  This will reserve space in your maximum lot count for the specified minimum number of this card, so the lot will not be "filled" until the minimum count of this card is reached.
Max Qty
The maximum number of this card allowed in your lot.

Min/Max are disabled unless you have a maximum lot count.  To prevent duplicates, if desired, use Max Qty of 1.
  • When your list is complete and named, click Create List

  • To use your newly created list, see Using Lists below.

Importing a List

 

List imports have only been tested with Edge, Chrome, and Safari browsers.

 

  • From the List option on the top bar

 

Card List and Bin Conditions are mutually exclusive.  You may only use one or the other per bin. 

  • Click Import List, select your game, and click Next.

create_list_4

  • Name your list.
  • Choose a file or drag the file from another window onto the Select a File box.

  • The files must be CSV files in the following format:

Pokemon


pokemon_list_example

All other TCGs

import_list_mtg

The headers and foilType are case sensitive and will fail if not exact.

cardId - the ID of the card (required)

minQty - the minimum number of this card in a lot before that lot is considered "complete".  Will reserve capacity in a lot

maxQty - the maximum number of this card allowed in a lot

foilType - either normal (no foils), foil (only foils), or blank (any version)

*foilType (Pokémon) - either normal, holfoil, reverseholofoil, 1steditionnormal, 1steditionholofoil

The PhyzBatch cannot currently check for 1st edition Pokémon cards, and they will be detected as the normal base (Unlimited) set.  This will be added in a future patch.

Getting the IDs  

The ID for Magic, Pokémon, Lorcana, or One Piece cards can be obtained from your PhyzBatch Inventory.  Click on All Cards and reduce them to your desired collection using the filters.

Export a Card List, and all the IDs can be found in the export.  Use the IDs to create a list for import based on the templates above.

  

 

Magic: The Gathering uses the same card IDs as Scryfall.

Any errors in CSV formatting or IDs will be listed and must be fixed before the list is created unless the "Ignore Errors" toggle is selected.  If errors are ignored, only the errorless cards will be imported to the list.

  • You will be shown that the file has imported successfully, as well as shown that the List is set to sort out into individual bins automatically.

Bulk Lists
  • You can also import Bulk Lists directly from the Sort page. 

These allow you to import multiple lists via one single CSV, and assign each list and each card to a specific bin.

  • You will be brought to the following menu, where you can directly import your Bulk Lists.

Managing Lists
  • From the Lists menu, you can manage your Lists. You can select or deselect various Lists you've already uploaded, edit them, or archive them. You can also choose to delete lists; deleted lists will be recoverable for one week before being permanently deleted.

  • You can toggle the visibility of archived Lists and restore archived Lists.

Using Lists

  • On the Sort page, you can choose your Lists as an option under the Sort Preset dropdown menu.

  • The bin will show it has a List selected as criteria.

Card List and Bin Conditions are mutually exclusive.  You may only use one or the other per bin. Card Lists will obey Lot Size settings.
