Core

Inventory

Track every furniture and décor item in your warehouse — quantities, photos, custom fields, and bulk actions.

Overview

The Inventory page is where every item your business owns lives. Each row is one item — a sofa, a lamp, a stack of dinner plates — with a quantity, photos, optional category, and any custom fields you've set up.

Inventory is the foundation of every other workflow in Staging Assistant. Holds (items reserved for an upcoming stage), checkouts (items out at a house), themed rooms, reports — they all reference the items defined here.

Adding items

Create individual items from the inventory page. For spreadsheet-sized work, use the import workflow instead.

  1. Click New

    From the top of the inventory page, click New to open the new item page.

  2. Fill in the basics

    Name and quantity are the only required fields. Category, photos, and any custom fields can be added later.

  3. Save the item

    Click Save. Staging Assistant creates the item and opens its detail page so you can add photos, barcodes, or extra fields.

Table and grid views

Switch between a dense table view (best for editing fields across many items) and a visual grid view (best for browsing). Both share the same filter, sort, and selection state.

The Table / Grid toggle sits at the top of the page next to the search box. Column choices and sort order persist per browser, so the inventory stays shaped the way you left it on that device.

Filtering and search

Use search for broad text matches and filters for structured conditions. Filters can be combined when one condition is not enough.

The simple search box at the top matches across name, category, and description. For more precise queries, click Filter to combine conditions. For example, Category is Lamps AND Available is greater than 0. The full system — every operator, the advanced filter builder, and sorting — is covered in Search, Filters & Sorting.

Detail sidebar

On desktop, selecting one item opens a sidebar while the inventory list stays visible.

The sidebar mirrors the item detail tabs for quick review. Use it to check quantities, categories, vendor information, photos, or edit the selected item without losing the list context.

Selection and barcode printing

Selection controls the actions available from the inventory list. Select one item to edit it, or select items before printing barcode labels.

In table view, use the row checkboxes to select items. In grid view, use the select-all button or click individual cards. On desktop, the more-actions menu shows Print Barcodes (N selected) with your current selection count — choosing it opens the print page with those items already loaded, and a banner there confirms how many carried over (with a Clear button if you change your mind).

Exporting the list

Admins can download the inventory as a spreadsheet from the more-actions menu.

Choose Export in the list's more-actions menu to download the current view as an .xlsx file. Active filters and sort order carry over, so to build an inventory report, filter the list first and export exactly those rows. See Import & Export for the import side, and Reports for year-over-year business reports.
