Location, Location, Location

Now that you have your Categories set up, it's time to enter locations of where your Items might be. That could be anything and anywhere. US, Canada, Mexico would do or it could be Kitchen, Dining Room, Bedroom or it could be Safeway, Trader Joe's, Albertsons or all of these and more.

The important thing to understand is that you can keep track of various Items in Record Sage and each Item can have a particular location specified (although it's optional). Then when various Reports are run, many sort by Category and Location or vice versa. For example the Shopping List will break things down by Category and simply show the location, thus for that kind of a list, the Location would specify what store to buy things in.

Of course you can augment this list of locations at any time using the standard Record Sage data management approach, same as used in managing Categories.

Hello (again)

Well, this blog has been neglected long enough. Now that PCS has a new web site (finally), we have a new President (let's hope he makes the right changes) - time to keep everything advancing forward. More soon...
