Know where things are

Since 0.5.0.

Do this when you put things away or reorganise: record which box, drawer or shelf holds each set, minifigure, part lot or box, so you can find it again.

A storage is any place you name: a box, a drawer, a shelf, a room. Storages can sit inside each other. Anything without a storage is Not stored.

Add a storage

  1. Open Workbench → Storage.
  2. Press Add storage.
  3. Enter a Name, for example Drawer 14. Choose a Type (Box, Shelf, Drawer, Bin, Bag, Case, Cabinet, Room or Other) and, if it sits in another storage, choose that under Inside. Add a Note if you like.
  4. Press Add storage.

To change a storage later, select it in the list and press Edit, change the fields and press Save.

Give one thing a place

  1. Open the item's page from Collection: a set's copy, a minifigure, a part, an instruction or a box.
  2. Press Edit.
  3. Choose its Storage, or Not stored.
  4. Press Save.

The page's facts then show where it is. A part lot has its own page; editing its storage applies to the whole lot.

If the edit gives a loose item the same item, colour, condition, lot and storage as another line of loose stock, the two lines merge into one and the notice says Merged into existing stock. Press Undo to split them again.

Give many things a place

On any Collection list:

  1. Turn on Select mode.
  2. Tick the items.
  3. In the bar that appears, under Change, choose Storage, then the storage under Value.
  4. Press Save.

When you put selected loose stock into a new lot, the Put selected stock in a lot sheet also asks for a Storage.

Move things between storages

  1. Open Workbench → Storage and select the storage that holds them.
  2. Press Select and tick the sets, minifigures, part lots or other items to move.
  3. Press Move to another storage.
  4. Under Move to, choose the new storage, or Not stored.
  5. Press Move selected items.

A lot takes its parts with it: loose parts filed in that lot and in the same storage move too. Up to 1,000 items move at a time.

See what's in a storage

Select a storage in the list on Workbench → Storage. It shows its type, where it sits, its note, and its contents grouped as Sets, Minifigures, Part lots and Other (instructions, boxes and the like), with a search and filters. Not stored in the same list shows everything without a place. The name of a set, minifigure, part or other item opens its page; a lot has no page of its own, so its name is plain text. In select mode a click on a name selects the row instead.

On the Collection lists you can also filter by Storage or group by it.

Archive a storage

  1. Select the storage and press Edit.
  2. Open Delete storage. It shows how many copies, loose entries, pieces and lots it holds.
  3. Move the items elsewhere first, or tick Move everything to Not stored, including lots.
  4. Press Archive storage.

The storage disappears from lists and pickers. You can undo it in History.

History and Undo

Open History at the bottom of Workbench → Storage. It lists storages you added or changed, moves and archives made on that page, newest first, each with an Undo while it can still be undone.

Purchase locations

Where things came from lives next door. On Workbench → Storage, follow Purchase locations.

  • The list shows each place with its Kind, the Orders whose store has the same name, the number of Copies bought there, when it was Last used and what you Spent (from the price paid, per currency).
  • Choose a Kind (BrickLink store, Online shop, Shop, Market, Fair, Private or Other) and it saves at once.
  • Press a place's name to see the sets bought there.
  • Add location opens Tools & Admin, where purchase places are kept.

To record where a copy came from, open it, press Edit and choose its Purchase location.
