Edit item details: units, notes, tags, favorites

Add a unit, store, notes, tags, and more to an item, and mark the things you buy all the time as favorites.

Takes about 2 minutes

An item can be just a name and a number. A few more details make it more useful: "4 jars from Aldi, aisle 4" tells you exactly what to buy and where.

Steps

  1. Open Edit item. In an inventory, tap the ⋯ next to the item, then Edit item. The top has Item name, Quantity, Location, Notes, Store / source, and Aisle. The Edit item sheet for Marinara Sauce showing quantity, location, store, and aisle
  2. Pick a unit. Tap the box under Unit (optional) and choose one, like jar, bag, or box. The unit shows next to the quantity in the list ("4 jar"). The unit list open, with None, bag, bottle, box, and more
  3. Add tags and mark a favorite. Further down are Usually buy qty, Expiration date, and Tags (optional, comma-separated). Tap Mark as favorite for things you buy all the time; it turns into a yellow star that says Marked as favorite. The bottom of Edit item with tags, Marked as favorite, Save, and Cancel
  4. Tap Save. Tags show as small labels under the item's name in the list.

Tips

  • Store / source groups the item under that store on the shopping list.
  • Usually buy qty is how many you normally buy. When you tap Bought on the shopping list, that's the amount added back.
  • Grocery or General? Store, aisle, low-stock threshold, usually buy qty, and expiration date are only in Grocery / Pantry inventories.
  • Your own fields (like Author for books) show up here too. See the custom fields guide.
