Set up storage locations

A location is anywhere you keep stock. Locations nest inside each other, so you can describe a place precisely - for example Workshop > Cabinet 1 > Drawer 3.

Add a location

1. Open Locations.
2. Choose to add a location and enter a Name such as "Workshop" or "Drawer 3".
3. To place it inside another location, choose a Parent location. Leave it blank for a top-level place.
4. Add optional Notes and save.

You can also use the Add child location button on any location to create something inside it.

Edit and delete

• Use the pencil to rename a location or change its parent.
• The bin deletes it. Be careful: deleting a location also deletes every location inside it and removes the stock records held there. Move stock somewhere else first. See Receive, move and adjust stock.

QR codes for locations

Every location gets its own QR code. Choose Print QR code to print a label you can stick on the shelf, drawer or box. Scanning it with Scan opens that location and everything in it. See Print QR codes for items and locations.

Tips

• Plan a simple structure first - building, then room, then shelf or drawer - and stick to it.
• Free accounts can have 50 locations and paid plans 200.
