What are Collections?

While Locations track where an item physically is, Collections are for grouping items based on what they are or what they’re for. A Collection is like a virtual folder or a playlist for your physical items.

This is incredibly useful for organizing items that belong together for a project but are stored in different places.

Example: The “Aetherium Echoes Show” Collection could contain:

• Captain Eva's Flight Jacket (from Wardrobe Storage)
• Aetherium Compass (from the Workshop Repair Bench)
• Antique Wooden Chest (currently leased out to a high school)

Creating a New Collection

1. Navigate to the Collections page from the main navigation menu.
2. Tap the main action button (with Ritchie’s face) to expand the menu.
3. Tap the Add Collection icon.
4. In the “Create New Collection” dialog:
   • Enter a Collection Name.
   • Optionally, add a Description.
   • Click Create.

Your new, empty collection is now ready!

Adding Items to a Collection

Once a collection is created, you can start adding items to it.

1. From the Collections page, click on the collection you want to add items to. This will take you to its detail page.
2. Inside the collection, you’ll see a grid of items. Click the card that says Add Items.
3. This opens the Item Picker, which shows all items in your inventory that are not already in this collection.
4. Use the Search Bar at the top to find the items you want to add.
5. Click on one or more item cards to select them. A checkmark will appear.
6. When you’ve selected all the items you want to add, click the Add [X] Item(s) button at the bottom.

The selected items will now appear in your collection’s grid.

Ritchie’s Tip: To remove an item from a collection, simply go to the collection’s detail page and click the small X icon on the item card you wish to remove. This doesn’t delete the item from your inventory, it just removes it from that specific group.
