Seeing what has been recorded

The app page only puts entries in — it has no list, search, or report screen. Everything you submit is added to a Google Sheet, on a tab named Inventory, and that is where you go to look at it.

Each entry is one row with four columns, in this order:

Column	What it holds
Item	The item name exactly as you typed it
Qty	The number you entered
Qty Type	What they come in — bottles, boxes, cans, or your own wording
Timestamp	The date and time the entry reached the spreadsheet

New rows are added at the bottom, so the most recent entries are the last ones.

Looking at the entries

You need access to the spreadsheet. If you have been given responsibility for the app and cannot open it, ask whoever ran it before you — without access you cannot see the records.

What you do

1. Open the app in your web browser.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the card.
3. Click the blue View the Inventory tab link.
4. The spreadsheet opens in a new browser tab, already on the Inventory page.
5. The entries appear as rows, newest at the bottom.

If you already have the spreadsheet open, you can instead find the row of tab names along the bottom of the window and click the one named Inventory.

If Google shows a screen asking you to request access, your account has not been given permission to the spreadsheet. Ask whoever looks after the app to share it with you.

If a row looks wrong

The spreadsheet is an ordinary Google Sheet, so you can correct a row by typing in it directly, the same as any other spreadsheet. Two cautions:

• Do not move or rename the four columns. The app writes to them by position. If the order changes, new entries land in the wrong columns.
• Do not rename the Inventory tab. New entries would stop arriving, and the app would report an error rather than saving.

If either has already happened, see When something goes wrong.

A note about the older version

An earlier version of this app saved entries to a database instead of the spreadsheet, and the app’s own guidance used to describe that. It no longer works that way. If you have inherited a set of database records from that version, treat them as historical — new entries do not appear there.
