Inventories page
The Inventories page lists inventories for the selected workspace. You can switch between Inventories and Archives, search by name, create a new inventory, open the edit dialog, or enter an inventory to manage its items.
This help covers the inventory list. Creating and editing open in a separate dialog. Item details are viewed from the stock page of the chosen inventory.

Prerequisites
- You must be signed in to Sequentia.
- A workspace must be selected.
- The Inventory module must be enabled on the workspace — otherwise the menu item is hidden.
- Your plan must include the Inventory feature — otherwise access may be refused based on the workspace billing status.
| Element | Condition |
|---|---|
| Inventories menu | Inventory module enabled + Inventory feature included in the plan |
| Inventories / Archives segments | Visible once at least one active inventory exists (see Empty state) |
| Add inventory card | Inventories segment only |
| Successful creation | Permission to manage inventories |
| Archive / restore | Permission to archive an inventory — from the profile dialog, not from the list |
Open the page
- Open the navigation menu.
- In the Inventory group, click Inventories.
- Or open the Inventories page directly from an internal link.
While active inventories load, a loading screen replaces the content.

Segments
Inventories
Segment label: Inventories. Page title: My inventories.
Shows non-archived inventories for the workspace, sorted by name. The workspace primary inventory appears first, then the rest alphabetically.
Archives
Label: Archives. Title: Archived inventories.
The first time you open this segment, archived inventories load. No Add inventory card. Archived cards show an Archived badge.

Search
- Placeholder: Search inventory.
- Case-insensitive filter on inventory name only.
- The search term is not cleared automatically when you change segments.
- No dedicated “no results” message: the grid may show only the add card (Inventories) or be empty (Archives).

Inventory cards
Each card shows:
| Element | Display |
|---|---|
| Image | Inventory image if set, otherwise an empty area |
| Title | Name (search term highlighted) |
| Badge | Archived when the inventory is archived |
| Location | Formatted address, or location name when there is no address |
| Count | Number of items in the inventory |
| Pencil | Opens the profile dialog (add / edit) |
Open an inventory
Clicking the card opens the inventory stock page (item management — outside the scope of this page). An archived inventory opens read-only.
Edit the record
- Click the pencil icon (without opening the stock page).
- The Add inventory / Edit inventory dialog opens.
- Main fields: Name (required, min. 2 characters to confirm), Description, Location, Storage locations, Primary inventory, Image.
- For an archived inventory, the dialog opens read-only; you can still Restore (or Archive when active) from the footer, subject to permission to archive an inventory.
Archive and restore are not offered as buttons on the list cards: they go through this dialog.

Add an inventory
On the Inventories segment:
- Click the Add inventory card (or the empty-state button).
- Without permission to manage inventories: alert Insufficient permissions / “You do not have the necessary permissions to add an inventory”.
- With permission: the create dialog opens; Confirm saves the inventory and shows a success message.

Empty state
The welcome card appears when:
- Inventories segment: no active inventory.
- Archives segment: no active inventory and (empty archived list or archives not yet loaded).
Displayed content:
- title Inventory;
- copy oriented toward adding items to an inventory;
- button Add item — which actually opens inventory creation (see To confirm with product).
A second More help button is present but disabled.

What this page does not do
- Manage items (add, quantities, labels, transfer, physical count): inventory stock page.
- Archive / restore directly from a list card.
- Show purchase orders, receptions, or suppliers: other Inventory menu entries.
- Fully document every field and rule of the profile dialog (storage locations, primary inventory, image, work-document related messages).
In-app help
On the Inventories page, the header help menu opens this topic. Help title: Help - Inventories. The FAQ covers what an inventory is, how to add one, and how to edit or organize inventories.
To confirm with product
- The empty state shows title Inventory and button Add item while the action creates an inventory. Confirm the intended copy (e.g. Inventories / Create inventory).
- The edit pencil stays visible on archived cards. Confirm whether it should be hidden for archived inventories.
- Editing a profile does not seem to require permission to manage inventories (unlike creation). Confirm whether editing should be restricted.
- On Archives, if active inventories still exist but there are no archives, the grid may be empty with no No archived inventories message. Confirm whether a dedicated empty state is needed.
- Search only matches name (not description or location) and is not accent-insensitive. Confirm the search scope.
- Archive actions on list cards seem planned but are absent from the interface. Confirm whether they should appear.
- In the profile dialog, the title shows Add inventory whenever the profile is not read-only, including when editing an active inventory. Confirm the expected create vs edit titles.
