When your field team arrives on site, they check in inventory items from the Vantage mobile app. They open the event, go to the Inventory tab, and work through the list, marking each item as checked in and attaching a photo if needed.
For the full step-by-step guide on checking in inventory from the mobile app, see Checking in inventory on an event.
What inventory check-in looks like from the dashboard
As your team checks in items on site, the status of each item updates in real time on the Inventory tab of the event. You can see at a glance which items have been confirmed and which are still pending.
When something is missing
If an item does not arrive or the wrong quantity comes, your team logs it as a shortage from the event's Issues tab.
See Logging a shortage on an event for details.
