Location page (mobile)

In the Trail mobile app, you can view locations and the items assigned to them.

From the location view, you can see information such as the number of items in the location and the most recently updated items.

You can also quickly add multiple items to a location by scanning their labels. This is especially useful when several items are moved to a new location at the same time.

⭐ Note! At the end of this guide, you'll find instructions on how to add multiple items to the same location at once.

Viewing location information

  1. Open the Trail mobile app.
  2. Open Menu > Locations.
  3. Find the location you want from the list and open it.

In the location view, you can see the location's basic information and the number of items and sublocations it contains. You can also see the items that were most recently updated in the location.

👉 To view which items are in the location, click the Items button
