Item Statistics

The Item Statistics page provides an overall overview of your item data and lets you analyze distribution by attribute dimensions.

Plain Language

The statistics page is like a "data dashboard" that lets you see at a glance how many things you own, how much you've spent in total, and how much you consume on average per day. You can also select different attributes to view the value or quantity distribution within a specific category.

Accessing the Statistics Page

  • Find the statistics icon (chart shape) in the top right corner of the home page
  • Tap to enter the statistics page

Statistics Overview

Upon entering the statistics page, four key data cards are displayed at the top:

Item Count

  • Shows the total number of item entries you've added
  • For example, you've recorded 100 item entries

Inventory Quantity

  • Shows the sum of the quantity attribute across all items
  • For example, if you have 3 coffee entries with quantities of 5, 3, and 2, the total inventory is 10

Total Value

  • Shows the sum of the price attribute across all items
  • Only items with a price attribute are included
  • For example, the total amount spent on all items

Daily Consumption

  • Shows the average amount consumed per day
  • Calculated based on item expiry reminders and other data

Example: Statistics by Category

Suppose you select the "Category" attribute with the following categories:

  • Daily Essentials: Value $500, Quantity 20
  • Electronics: Value $2,000, Quantity 5
  • Books: Value $300, Quantity 30

The system displays a pie chart showing the distribution of these categories.

Switching Statistics Type

After selecting an attribute, you can switch between two statistics modes:

By Price

  • The pie chart shows the total value proportion of each option
  • See which category you've spent the most on

By Quantity

  • The pie chart shows the item count and inventory quantity of each option
  • See which category has the most items
