Gear Overview

Updated 22 Sep 20262 min read

The Gear page is where you track everything you own that goes to an event: hardware, booth kits, and software. It's one page with three tabs — Hardware, Booth kits, and Software — rather than three separate sections, so switching between them doesn't lose your place.

The three tabs

  • Hardware — booths, printers, cameras, and other accessories you own individually. This is your unit-by-unit inventory.
  • Booth kits — saved collections of hardware, software, and props you deploy together as one package. See Booth Kits for the full walkthrough.
  • Software — photo booth apps, credentials, and licenses, linked to the gear that needs them.

Each tab has its own + Add button in the header, and a matching entry in the + Add gear menu at the top of the page if you'd rather jump straight to hardware, software, or a new booth kit from anywhere on the page.

Hardware statuses

Every hardware item carries one of four statuses:

  • Ready — available to use.
  • Fault — something's wrong with it. See Gear Faults & Checks for how a fault gets filed and cleared.
  • Low — a consumable (like paper or ink) at or below the low-stock threshold you set on it.
  • Retired — no longer in active use, kept for record-keeping.

A booth kit shows Ready or Incomplete on the Booth kits tab — that's a simple check for whether the kit has at least one item in it, not a check against a required-items list, so "Ready" doesn't guarantee the kit is actually fully equipped for a shoot.

Low-stock alerts

If you set a low-stock threshold on a consumable item, a banner appears at the top of the Hardware tab whenever one or more items are at or under that threshold — showing current quantity against the threshold so you know what to reorder and how urgently.

Categories

Hardware items are grouped by category, and categories are yours to define — add, rename, or remove them from the Gear categories card in the page's right rail. There's no fixed list; the categories you create are what your library gets organized by.

What's not built yet

The Due diligence export on the rail is a placeholder for now — clicking it shows a "coming soon" message rather than producing a file. There's nothing to configure; it just isn't live yet.
