Create an Inventory
Create an Inventory, link the items you want to write down, add a canvas if you need one, and you have a shareable record.
Steps to Create
- Tap "More" in the top-right corner of the home page and choose "Inventory"
- Enter the Inventory lists page
- Tap the "+" button in the bottom-right corner
- Fill in the Inventory name and notes in the sheet
- Save the Inventory
Basic Inventory Information
An Inventory has only two fields, both set here:
- Name: the Inventory name, e.g. "Moving - Kitchen," "Quarterly Stock-take," "My Wardrobe"
- Notes: a description of this record (optional), e.g. packing date or counting date
Adding Items to an Inventory
After creating the Inventory, link items from your item library:
- Open the Inventory detail page and tap "+" at the top right of the "Item List" section
- Select the items to link (multi-select is supported)
- The items appear in the Inventory right away
- You can also do the reverse from the "In Inventories" section at the bottom of an item's detail page
Items linked to an Inventory remain in your item library -- they are not moved or copied. The same item can be in several Inventory lists at the same time.
Adding a Canvas
An Inventory can hold canvases, where item images become a layout picture:
- Open the Inventory detail page and tap "Edit Layout", or tap "+" at the top right of the "Canvas" section
- Enter the canvas editing view
- Place items from the Inventory onto the canvas (only items that have images can be picked)
- Drag them around and adjust how they stack on each other
- Save the canvas; the exported image appears in the Inventory's canvas area
- You can keep adding more canvases to the same Inventory
Canvases suit scenarios where the physical placement matters, such as a wardrobe, display cabinet or toolbox. Skipping canvases does not stop an Inventory from recording items.
Editing an Inventory
You can modify an Inventory at any time after creation:
- Open the Inventory detail page
- Tap the menu in the top-right corner and select "Edit Inventory" (the "Rename" action does the same)
- Modify the name
- Modify the notes
- Save changes
Deleting an Inventory
- Open the Inventory detail page
- Tap the menu in the top-right corner
- Select "Delete"
- Confirm deletion
Deleting an Inventory does not delete the linked items. Items remain in your item library.
Inventory View Options
The Inventory lists page supports two view modes:
- List View: Displays Inventory lists in a list format
- Grid View: Displays them as grid cards, with the thumbnail taken from that Inventory's first canvas
- Tap the view-switch icon in the top-right corner; your choice is remembered
