When you start the app for the first time, you will find notice the list of locations has one entry ‘My Places’. You can either leave this as it is or customise it by touching the ‘Disclosure’ button on the right and editing the name. You can also add a description and image if you wish. All fields are optional except for the name.

Adding Locations

You will notice that the initial location ‘My Places’ has a plus symbol to its left, this indicates that sub-locations are yet to be added to this location. By touching the ‘Add Location’ button at the bottom of the list, a new popup box will appear to allow you to enter the location. Once a location has a sub-location the symbol to the left will change from the plus symbol to either  right arrow or a down arrow.      

The right arrow symbol means that the location has sub-locations hidden from view. Touch the symbol to reveal these locations. Once the location has revealed its sub-locations the symbol will change to the down arrow. 

     

Touching the down arrow symbol will hide the contents of this sub-location.

This system is designed to ease navigation around the list of locations once you have entered more than a few locations.

Make sure that when you add a sub-location that you select the appropriate parent location for it to be in. This is shown by the location being highlighted in grey.

Selecting a Location

On an iPhone or iPod Touch you select a location by touching the name of the location anywhere between the symbol to its left and the disclosure button to its right, this automatically takes you to a display of that location’s contents. If you were selecting it to add a new location then simply press the back button.

On an iPad, whenever you select a location the contents of that location are displayed in the split screen to the right of the display.

Adding Items

Once your locations have been added you can start to log items as in specific ones. Select the location that the items are stored in and below the items displayed you will see the ‘Add Item’ button. Touch this to be presented with the pop up dialog box where you can enter the name, description, quantity and image of the item. All fields are optional except for the name

Deleting Locations

To delete a location first make sure the location is highlighted/selected on the locations list. Then simply touch ‘delete location’ on the lower toolbar. BE CAREFUL, however because deleteing a location will delete that location, its contents, as well as ALL SUB-LOCATIONS AND CONTENTS.
