RE: Questions...need help!


Thanks, again, Marshiel and Fred! 

I hadn't even thought about making a new category.  That might help with what I'm wanting to do.  I'll give it a try!

Sometimes I think I make things harder than they really need to be!smile

Thanks,
Kim

Fred,
Maybe the notes and description windows can be scrolling ones as to not limit the number of lines.

What Marshiel suggests is a good way to handle group items, just break them into reasonably sized groups that can be entered.  It makes the inventory reports easier to read if not too much is entered for one entry.

Feel free to add new 'categories' as necessary by switching to the 'Category' view on the bottom/left of the inventory screen.  Assigning items to more detailed categories also makes the reporting more professional.

Currently, the software doesn't save previous item entries for use on other clients like the coffee maker but we'll add that to the enhancment list.

We'll have a software update coming out at the end of the month or beginning of Sept. that will provide some more flexibility with the reporting as well.

Hi Kim,

Hey there, my suggesttion is keep is as simple and sane for you.  This is what I would do for your 5 small kitchen items:
Under Description: Misc. Kitchen Items  (5)
Under Notes:  1. XXXX 2. XXXX 3. XXXX 4. XXXX  5. XXXX


I think its okay if they are all in the same line.  

Hope this helps.cry

Marshiel

Hi, I am feeling very limited with the software and was wondering if you guys could help...
First of all, when you take group shots are you entering each of those items individually or just typing their details into the notes section?  If I take a group shot of 5 small kitchen items, if I enter them individually then the same picture is on there 5 times.  If I enter them one time as a group, I don't have a enough room in either the description or notes section.  (I like to list them on separate lines but can only get about4 lines in the descr. and 5 1/2 in the notes area)

I thought maybe I could make a New Item of kitchen items and then keep adding groups under that but you have to type a unique item in each time.
Also, is there any way to save New Items if you type them in.  Like, there is no coffee maker on there and pretty much everyone has one, so am I going to have to type that in everytime I do an inventory?

Also, there are only 3 items that can fit on a page when you print them?  Does that sound right?

Thanks for any input!
Kim B.
