Equipment Types vs Equipment Items

Equipment Types

• Purpose: Serve as categories for organizing your studio's equipment or specific spots for classes.

• Capabilities: You can create distinct equipment types, specifying the total number for each type. This step is crucial because it determines how many individual items you can have per type.

• Features: Each type requires a unique name and a label prefix for identification. The interface allows for immediate editing or deletion of any equipment type. A notable feature is the "Manage Items" button, which seamlessly transitions you to the equipment items view for granular management.

Equipment Items

• Overview: Represents the tangible or specific spots within your studio, under the umbrella of their respective types.

• Functionality: The interface displays crucial details like the type, label, status (working or out of order), and any notes associated with the item. It's also equipped to show all registrations linked to an item.

• Interactivity: Through a simple interface, you can mark an item as out of order, edit its details, or remove it entirely. Adding a new item is straightforward, requiring assignment to a type, a label, and any pertinent notes. This level of detail is vital for both administrative clarity and client transparency.

• Client Accessibility: Importantly, all notes attached to equipment items are visible to clients, highlighting the need for careful and thoughtful notation to ensure clarity and professionalism.

Operational Insights

• Creating and Managing: The process of adding new items includes assigning them to a type, labeling, and noting—all actions are designed with ease of use in mind, ensuring a smooth operational flow.

• Filtering Capabilities: For organizational efficiency, the system allows filtering by equipment type or status, making it easier to manage and overview the equipment's operational readiness.
