Item catalogue

The items every unit's stock is counted against.

What this page is for

Keep one list of the things your units should have. Each unit then gets its own count of these items.

Who can use it

Edit the item catalogue (by default Admin and Operations).

How to

  1. Enter a name, and if you like a category, what it is counted in and an order, then select Add item.
  2. Change an item in its row and select Save.
  3. Untick In use to stop counting an item without losing its history.
  4. Delete removes an item that no unit has counted yet; otherwise it is switched off instead.

Can a unit need an item another unit doesn't? Yes: set "Should have" to 0 on units that don't need it.
