Inventory Views
The same inventory can be shown in different ways depending on what you're doing — browsing visually, scanning a dense list, or working spreadsheet-style. Gubbins offers three view densities, plus grouping and a favourites filter.
Where to find it: the More menu on the Inventory screen → View (and Group by).
Rich cards with photos, status and quick actions — the most scannable, best for browsing and for photo-heavy collections.
A compact one-line-per-item list — more items on screen, less visual weight. Good for working through a lot of items quickly.
A columned table — Name, Location, Category, Stock and more — for a spreadsheet-style overview where you can compare rows at a glance.
💡 Tip Pick the density that matches the task: Card to browse, Data to skim, Table to compare. It's a per-device preference, so your phone and desktop can differ.
Group by clusters the list into sections — by location, category, or other axes — so a long inventory breaks into meaningful chunks instead of one endless list.
Pin the items you reach for most as favourites (the gold star on a card) and use the favourites filter to show just them. See Saved searches & favourites.
Card view itself is configurable — which fields show, count pills, and more — under Settings → Dashboard / Inventory. See Appearance & theming and Dashboard & widgets.
ℹ️ Note The view density only changes how items are drawn — it never changes your data or which items match your current search, location and status filters.
- Search overview — narrowing which items are shown.
- Locations & stock — the tree that filters the list.
- Bulk edit & clone — acting on many items at once.
