Item types, details and custom fields

What the Regular item, Antique, Vehicle and Real estate types add — and how custom fields cover the rest.

Items & organizing

Every item has a type, chosen in the editor. The type decides which detail cards appear.

The four types

  • Regular item — the default. Photos, purchase details, warranty, category, location and notes.

  • Antique — for pieces where provenance matters more than a store receipt.

  • Vehicle — adds registration number, make, model and model year.

  • Real estate — adds address, cadastre number, year built and the other facts of a property.

Details worth filling in

The Details card holds the store, purchase date, price and serial number — the things an insurance claim or warranty case will ask for. Notes take free-form text with formatting.

Custom fields

When the built-in cards do not cover it, add your own fields: text, number, date, yes/no or a picker with your own options. Custom fields work per collection, so a wine cellar and a tool shed can track completely different things.
