How to do an inventory in the mobile app as an administrator or member
In part 2, we will go through how to take inventory in the mobile app. Before starting the inventory, an administrator needs to have created the location or locations where the inventory will take place. A location is a digital representation of a physical building, office, or similar. At the bottom, you will find additional sections if you want to explore Palats in more detail.
For whom?
This section is intended for both administrators and members, who have permission to take inventory at one or more locations. Depending on how your organization operates, you may also be required to post an ad on a marketplace in connection with the inventory.

Difference between Model & Article
In Palats, we work with models and article, and here we explain the difference between these concepts.
Model
- The model is a type of product of which there can be many unique instances (article).
Model-specific fields are shared across all article/instances of the same model.
If you have the same type of armchair in another color, it is counted as a different model.
Article
- The article is the actual piece of furniture — a specific instance belonging to a model.
The article has it´s own unique attributes, such as condition and location.
Article belonging to the same model therefore share the model specifications but have unique article specifications.
