Add a StageStock category

Categories are how StageStock groups your inventory (Costumes, Props, Lighting, and so on), and each one has its own list of people and roles. You can have as many as you need. You'll need the Add Category permission, part of the Administrative - StageStock roles; StageStock administrators usually have it.

Add a category

1. Go to Administration > Inventory Administration. (Or go to Inventory > Search and Check Out and click the gear icon next to the category selector; its tooltip says Manage Categories.)
2. Click Add Category.
3. Enter a Name and an Abbreviation.
4. Under Assigned Users, pick a person and a role, then click Add User. Repeat for everyone who should have access. You can add more people later.
5. Choose the Barcode Type for labels in this category: 1D Barcode (Code 39) or QR Code.
6. Click Save Changes.

The new category appears in the list and in the category selector on Search and Check Out. A person's role in the category decides what they can do there, from viewing to managing items. How user roles and permissions work has the details.
