Everyday use

Using things up, restocking, moving things around, and checking they're still there.

Using some, or restocking

Anyone in the household can do this, viewers included.

  1. Open the item and tap Adjust Quantity.
  2. Choose Add Stock or Remove Stock.
  3. Set the Amount, add a Reason if you like ("used on the Smith job"), and tap save.

Every change is recorded with who made it and when; admins can see them all in the Activity Log. From a low-stock notification, Restock… opens this screen directly. On the Apple Watch, − and + do the same one at a time.

Moving an item

Admins only.

  1. Open the item and tap Move to Another Location (near the bottom).
  2. Pick the new location and tap Move.
Moving an item
Choosing the new location

Moving several at once

  1. Open the location they're in, tap … › Select Items.
  2. Tap each item to tick it, or tap Select All.
  3. Tap Move to… at the bottom and pick the new location.

Either they all move or none do, so nothing ends up half-moved if the connection drops.

Marking items as seen

"Last seen" answers the question "is it really still there?". Walking the racks or doing a stock check, open an item and tap Mark as Seen, or do a whole shelf at once: on the location, … › Select Items, tick what you can see, then tap Mark Seen. Changing an item's quantity counts as seeing it too.

Lists show "Seen 3 days ago" or "Not checked" under each item, and All Items can be sorted by Last Seen to find what nobody has looked at in a while.
