Understanding Attributes

NeatHub attributes are divided into two types:

Built-in basic attributes

These are ready to use without any setup:

  • Quantity: records item quantity, defaulting to 1
  • Price: records item price
  • Notes: item description or additional information
  • Index notes: key information used for search indexing

Custom attributes

Create these manually based on your needs:

  • Tags: for categories such as “Daily Supplies” or “Electronics”
  • Input fields: freely enter text or numbers
  • Dates: such as purchase date or expiration date
  • Cascades: for locations such as “Wardrobe / Second shelf”
  • Attachments: upload manuals and other files
  • Scan fields: save barcode information
Recommendation

Start by adding a few items with the basic attributes to get familiar with the workflow. Then create custom attributes in Attribute Management. For details, see Add Items.

Beginner Workflow

We recommend getting started in this order:

  1. Add your first item

    Tap the “+” button in the bottom-right corner, enter a name, fill in quantity and price, then save. For detailed steps, see Add Items.

  2. View item details

    Tap an item card to view its full information. See Item Details.

  3. Create custom attributes

    In Attribute Management from the sidebar, create attributes such as purchase date, expiration date, category, and location.

  4. Create lists for organization

    Create lists such as “Daily Supplies” and “Food”. See What Are Lists?.

  5. Explore more features

    Try fast entry methods such as barcode scanning, receipt recognition, and AI segmentation.
