Where items live

Give each item a shelf label and a photo of its spot, so anyone putting things away scans the label and sees where it goes.

WhereInventory›Photos & shelves (or the item›More›Shelf)

New crew members waste time hunting for where things go. Give every item its spot once, and the Scan page shows it to whoever is holding the item.

Many items at once: Photos & shelves

The fastest way is to walk the shelves with a phone.

  1. Open Inventory and press Photos & shelves.
  2. Pick Components, Products or All, and a group or subgroup if you like. Press Picture, Shelf or Shelf photo under Only missing to see just what still needs one; the counts say how many are left.
  3. Tap the picture on a row to take the item's picture. On a phone the camera opens straight away; switch to Photos to pick one already on the phone. On a computer, drop a file on it.
  4. Type the Shelf and press Enter: it saves and moves to the next row's shelf.
  5. Tap the spot photo on the right of the row and take the shot of where it lives.

Each save shows in the top bar. A filled-in row stays on screen until you change the filters.

One item at a time

  1. Open the item. For a product, open More; for a component, it is in the Component box.
  2. Type the Shelf: the shelf, rack or bay label where it is kept.
  3. Press Add a photo of where it goes.
  4. Stand where you would stand to put it away, and take the shot.

Good to know

  • The pull list on Prep & Load Up shows the item's picture in place of its drawn icon, and the shelf as a label you can tap to see the photo of the spot.
  • Scan the item's label and the Scan page shows the shelf and the photo, large. See Scan items.
  • The shelf prints on the item's label. See Barcodes and labels.
  • Replace or remove the photo any time from the same place.
  • A tagged unit also has its own Location field on its page, for where that one unit is.
