Getting started with Find Boxes Inventory

You need to understand a few things to get the most out of Find Boxes’ inventory tools. 

First, you need to set up your storage rooms. The Find Boxes storage rooms are a virtual representation of where you house your gear. All items must belong to a storage room.

Second, in a storage room, you will see item categories. Item categories are specific items, like a Shure ulxd4 g50, but don’t directly represent the item you’re trying to track. Think of item categories as the metadata of all the items in the linked storage room that share the exact name of the item category. When you click on an item category, you’ll see all the instances of that item in that storage room with visual cues about their status. 

If an item has a green circle next to its name, then it is available. If it has a yellow circle by its name, then it has been checked out. If it has a red circle by its name, then it is out for service/repair.

All item categories have a QR code associated with them. You can print this QR and place it on a warehouse shelf so team members can scan it to see the status of all the items belonging to that item category. 

Third, items represent the object you are trying to keep track of. When you click on an item, you see upcoming orders, notes, and any attributes (PO number, Mac, and more) attached to the item.

Items also have a QR code associated with them. Printing the QR code and placing it on the carrying case or the object itself is recommended. The item’s QR code lets your team members quickly look it up.
