Using QuickTrack Creating, Editing and Using Items Your items are your stock, catalogue or (inventory), this could be Books if you are a library, tools if you are a tool room, equipment if you lend equipment, or just normal stock such as phones. Each item has a unique record, if you are running a library you should have a unique barcode for every item even if it has the same ISBN number, (you can use QuickTrack to print barcode labels to stick on). For other multiples it will be easier to have a single barcode for a type of item and then enter a quantity in the quantity field on the items screen. The items screen shows you a history of the item, its current status and other details, even a picture if available. If the item is a Book, DVD or Game the details can be entered automatically, simply scan the barcode into the id field, and an automatic internet lookup will contact our database and return the details. This greatly speeds up item entry. To view a list of the current items click Items on the main menu or at the top, and choose List. To find an item, type or scan its barcode or some of its information into the find box at the top of the screen and press return.
