Every item on one page, edited a card at a time

One long form for everything

Changing a price meant finding an Edit control in a card menu, opening a dialog that held every field an item has, and scrolling it. On a phone that is most of the work of keeping inventory current, and it is why prices went stale.

Five cards, one sheet each

An item is now At a glance, Where it is kept, Suppliers and prices, Units, and Checks. Each card has its own Edit and its own short sheet: full screen on a phone, a centred dialog on a desktop, Save disabled until something actually changes, and a prompt if you close with unsaved work.

• The list says what is wrong with each row rather than making you open it. Units need review, no supplier, no price, price 30 days old, not kept anywhere.
• Filter to Needs attention and work down the list.
• Prices are compared in the unit you count in, so $78.00 per bag reads $6.50 per pound underneath as you type, and the card says when your primary supplier is not the cheapest.
