Add items to a collection
Four ways to get belongings into iTems: type them in, photograph them, scan a receipt, or let Bulk Capture register a whole shelf.
In an Assets collection, the add button gives you four ways in. Use whichever fits the moment — they all end up as regular items you can edit.
The four ways
Add Item — create an item by hand and fill in the details yourself. Best when you want full control.
Camera — photograph the thing in front of you and build the item from the photo.
Scan Receipt — photograph a receipt and iTems reads it, creates an item for each product on it, and attaches the receipt as a PDF.
Bulk Capture — photograph a drawer, shelf or room and iTems finds the individual items for you to review. Requires iTems Pro and a signed-in account.
There is no barcode scanner in iTems — recognition is done from photos and receipts instead, so it also works for things that never had a barcode.
Add an item manually
Tap Add Item
A new item opens in the editor.
Give it a title and type
Regular item covers most things; Antique, Vehicle and Real estate add their own detail cards.
Add photos and details
Attach photos, purchase details (store, date, price, serial number), warranty and notes as you like — everything is optional.
Choose category and location
File the item into a category and a location so you can find it again.
