Add an item to your inventory

In Itefy, an item is typically a fixed asset, like a piece of equipment, but it can also be other types of assets, like a building, software license or inventory, like raw materials and consumables.

Let’s start by adding your first item. There are 2 ways in the web app to add an item:

  1. Click ‘Add items’ on the dashboard

  2. OR select ‘Add items’ under the Items dropdown on the sidebar.

Pro tip: In Itefy, you can import multiple items from a spreadsheet. Learn more about importing items in Course 17 - Importing & exporting items
