Busy rental businesses often need to quickly check item availability for fast conflict-free reservations. During hectic operational hours, going through Item Detail pages to check the availability of required items can be a waste of time and employee productivity.
You can now check Asset, Asset stock, and Inventory status directly from the top navigation bar via the new Check Availability button. Simply enter an Item’s name, identification number, or scan the Item’s barcode to quickly check its availability and add to an Order right from the dashboard.
Here’s how you can set it up.

An overlay will appear asking you to enter the Item you want to search for. Here you can enter any Asset, Asset Stock, or Inventory Item.
