Locations & Sub-locations (v2.13.0 - APR 2023)
Locations & Sub-locations Customisation - Catalogue the precise locations where your inventory items reside.
[non-English articles provided by machine translation of the English original]
TheBoatApp provides you with the ability to use Locations & Sub-locations to catalogue the very precise location of each item on your inventory. No more endless searches and wondering where is that spare part that is now needed. You know exactly where you have it and so they know all your sharing fellows.
Since each boat has her own storage spaces, you are provided with the ability to setup your very own locations, customised to fully-fit your own needs. For even greater granularity, sub-locations are also provided in order to make sure that you don’t simply book in general the whereabouts of an inventory item but you do so with laser-focus (e.g. cabin-closet-box-etc).
How to Access the Locations
Within the Inventory add/edit screen, click in the Location field and than click the “Customise locations” button
How to Register & Manage Locations
Add a custom-location: you may add a location you need by simply typing the new location name and clicking the “Add” button to add the new location
Edit a custom-location
To edit a custom-location click the pencil icon on the right-side
Type the new name and click the confirm (check-mark) button on the right-side or the cancel (x-mark)

A warning will pop-up: “Do you want to delete this location? Doing so will delete this locations from all records where it may have been used. The respective records will remain but this location will be removed from each one”. Confirming this will delete the selected custom-location.
