  Compartments Icon   Adding Items
 

To add an item, do one of the following:

  • Select the New Item toolbar button.
  • Select New Item from the File menu.
  • Press the keyboard shortcut Command-N.
The new item window contains the following fields:
  1. Item Name and Type: This field is required. By default, the item type is set to Generic, and represented by a star icon. Click the star to see many other item types.
  2. Location: This field is required as well. The location box defaults to the location you currently have selected. However, you can change it, or even enter a new location name. If you have entered a location name that doesn't yet exist, Compartments will create the location for you.
  3. Image: Images are not required, but useful for visual and insurance purposes. To add an image, click the Add Image button.
  4. Optional Details: All the fields here are optional, as the title implies.
  5. Tags: Tags are useful to help identify your items. You can search for items by tag.
Tip: After clicking the Add Image button, you can drag and drop images on to the image window. You can also use the slider at the bottom of the image to crop it.

Once you are finished entering your item's details, press the Save Item button.
