  1. Step 1 of 7

    Open Inventory

    Tap Inventory at the top, then + Add item.

    The Inventory screen. The Inventory tab and the + Add item button are outlined.
  2. Step 2 of 7

    Add it as company equipment

    Under What is it?, pick Company equipment (reused, not charged). Scan or type its barcode if it has one, type its name in Item name, and what you paid for one in Value each ($). Then tap Save at the bottom.

    The Add item form with Company equipment picked, the barcode LAD-6, the name Step ladder, 6 ft and a value of $120. The Company equipment choice, the Item name box and the Value each box are outlined.
  3. Step 3 of 7

    Check it out like any item

    Open the job's project and scan the equipment, the same as a supply (lesson 1). The form says it's company equipment and not charged. Tap Add 1 to project.

    The Check out form for Step ladder, 6 ft on Acme Offices, marked Company equipment, not charged. The Add 1 to project button is outlined.
  4. Step 4 of 7

    It's listed apart from the supplies

    The project lists it under Equipment (not charged), with how many are still out. It's not in the project's charge or the client's CSV.

    The Acme Offices project: the supplies with their charge, and below them Equipment (not charged) with the step ladder, 1 still out. The Equipment heading is outlined.
  5. Step 5 of 7

    Finish: say where each piece is

    Back from the job, return what's back (lesson 1), then tap Finished Return. If any equipment is still out, the app asks first. For each piece, set how many are back under It's back. Anything you don't count stays out, still at the job, and the project stays open.

    The Before you finish form: Step ladder, 6 ft, 1 still out, with It's back and Lost or broken counts. The It's back label is outlined.
  6. Step 6 of 7

    Lost or broken? You can charge for it

    Set how many under Lost or broken. To charge the client for it, type an amount in Charge the client, or leave it empty for no charge. Then tap Save.

    The Before you finish form with 1 lost or broken and a charge of $120. The Lost or broken label, the charge box and the Save button are outlined.
  7. Step 7 of 7

    See what's out, and who has it

    In Inventory, tap Equipment, then Out on jobs. Each piece that's out shows the project, who took it and when.

    Inventory filtered to Equipment, Out on jobs: the step ladder is out on Acme Offices, taken by Demo user. The Inventory tab, the Equipment filter and the Out on jobs filter are outlined.

Watch it once

A 17-second clip with no sound. Inventory is filtered to company equipment, then to what's out on jobs: the ladders and vacuums that are out, the project each is on, who took it and when.
