Create item in the web app
The easiest way to take inventory in Palats is by using our mobile app, which is available for download in both the App Store and Google Play. However, if you still want to create items directly in the web application, it's certainly possible. Before you begin, you need to have created a location.
Let's get started!
You can either take inventory directly on a floor plan or choose to inventory within the folder system you've created.
- Log in to the web application at palats.io and then go to "Locations" in the left menu.
- Select the location where you want to take inventory.
- Choose the section within the building you wish to work in by clicking on one of the divisions (room, floor, etc.).
- Click on "Create item"
- Place your item on the floor plan, if you are using one.
- Click "Upload images" and select the images you want.
- Choose a category or search in the model library to retrieve a model you've added previously.
- Fill in the specifications or leave the fields blank if you lack information.
- The display name is always the same as the category you've chosen but is a good way to differentiate your models.
- The fields for Weight and Purchase Price have preset template values for you to see potential environmental and financial savings you can achieve if you choose to reuse the item. You can update these values.
- When you reach Functional Condition, Visual Condition, and Logistics, you can click on the ℹ️ symbol for guidance on how to assess a product's condition.
- Specify any next steps, destination, and other tags
- Complete and save the item when you're finished.
Tip! If you have a chair of the same model where, for example, the color is different but it has the same specifications otherwise, after creating your first model, you can create a new model based on an existing one
