Where to start
To book equipment out of or back into your warehouse, first, you need to select a project. To do so, just follow these steps below:
|
Booking equipment manually in the app
You can book equipment manually in several ways:
| Click on the arrow next to an item's name to book one piece of the item. |
| Swipe right on the item and select 'Book everything'. |
| Swipe left on the item and select 'Book Amount.' |
| Click on the '...' button on the top right and select 'Book everything.' You can also select a different status, a pop-up will ask which status you want to book all the equipment to. |
Scanning
Click on the icon and aim at a QR/barcode.
- If the item you scanned is planned on the project, it will be booked.
- If the item you scanned is not planned, a pop-up will inform you and ask if you want to book it as additional equipment.
Switching between statuses
In Rentman, you have the flexibility to seamlessly switch between equipment statuses and book your items from one status to another.
|
Begin by selecting the status you want to book your equipment into. You can do this by clicking on the status in the top-right corner of your screen, which will open a dropdown menu. Pick the desired status from the list. Example: In the example from the video on the right, we book all the equipment to the status 'Prepped' by selecting it from the dropdown menu on top-right corner of your screen.
|
|
To move your equipment to a different status, simply select the next status from the dropdown menu on the top left of your screen. This action effectively changes the status of the equipment and updates its location within your workflow. Example: Now, in order to move it from the status 'Prepped' we need to select this status from the dropdown menu on the top left of your screen. Then, the next status should be selected from the right side of the screen. |
This option is also useful when you book something out by mistake.
