Add an asset (a case or an item)

Add each case, rack, bag and piece of kit once; packs and trips reuse it. Only the Name is required. Everything else can be filled in later with Edit Asset.

1. On the Assets page, tap the green + at the bottom right. If you're looking at a profile, the new asset goes into that profile (and into the folder you have open).
2. The New Asset sheet opens with the keyboard ready on Name. Type the name.
3. Choose Item or Case on the switch below the name. An item is "an inventory item that can be packed into cases"; a case is "a container or luggage".
4. Add a photo with Take Photo or Photo Library. Tap the photo afterwards to retake or replace it.
5. Details: Brand, Model and Quantity (1 to 50). A quantity above 1 makes that many separate assets, all sharing the photo and details.
6. Profiles: tap Select Profiles to tick the profiles it belongs in, then Done.
7. Category: a category is suggested from the name ("Suggested from its name. Tap to pick another."). Tap the row to pick one from the tiles.
8. Tags: tap Add Tags to tick tags or type a new one; search finds these.
9. For a case, Case Details: Case Number and Luggage Type (Cabin or Hold). For an item, Identification: Serial Number and Owner.
10. Dimensions & Weight: Length, Width, Height and Weight, in the units from Settings.
11. Find My: the item's name in the Find My app, if it has a tracker.
12. Value: Currency and Value. With Show Advanced Features on, On Carnet adds Customs Description and Country of Origin.
13. Notes, and for an item, Private (only you see it).
14. Tap Create at the top right. The X at the top left discards it.

1. On the Assets page, tap New Asset (top right on a computer) or the green + (bottom right on a phone).
2. The form has the same sections in the same order. For the photo, a phone offers Take Photo and Photo Library; a computer offers Choose Photo ("or drop one here").
3. Type tags and press Enter (or a comma) to add each one.
4. Tap Create. Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter) also saves.
5. Adding lots at once on a computer: at the bottom of the form, Adding lots at once? Use the multi-row form. The New Assets sheet has one row per asset (name, Item or Case, tags, quantity, weight, value); Add row adds more and Save All creates them all, each with the category suggested from its name.

• The asset belongs to you. Other members see it in the profiles you put it in; the Members filter shows whose is whose.
• Where it lands: the profile you were in, filed in the open folder. If you weren't in a folder and the profile has a top-level folder named after the asset's category (or Cases for a case), it's filed there automatically; otherwise it sits at the top level.
• Offline on the iPhone, the asset saves at once and syncs when you're back online. A photo shows straight away and uploads in the background.
• From 1.0.1 the name comes first, then Item or Case, then the photo, and the keyboard is ready on the name.
• A CSV import (Pro) adds many assets from a spreadsheet: see CSV import and export (Pro).
