Return an Inventory Item

When a volunteer is finished with an inventory item, you can record the return easily with BARRK!

To return an inventory item, open the Inventory category from the Main menu - or - by clicking the Inventory icon on the top of your screen. A list of your inventory will appear.

RECORD A RETURNED ITEM

There are two methods in which to record a returned item when the volunteer returns it to the shelter or rescue.

METHOD 1: By Inventory Item

1. Open the Inventory category from the Main menu - or - by clicking the Inventory icon on the top of your screen. A list of your inventory will appear.
2. Select the item you would like to return by clicking the name of the item.
3. Click the "In Use" tab on the top of the detail box. The circled number indicates how many of the items are currently in use.
4. Locate the name of the volunteer and click the "Un-assign" button.

The item is no longer assigned to that particular volunteer.

METHOD 2: By Person

1. Open the PEOPLE category from the Main menu - or - by clicking the People icon on the top of your screen. A list of your volunteers will appear.
2. Clicking the name of the person who is returning the item.
3. Click the "Inventory" tab on top of the detail box. A list of inventory which this particular volunteer currently has will appear.
4. Click on the item which is being returned.
5. On the next screen, click the "In Use" tab on the top of the detail box. The circled number indicates how many of the items are currently in use.
6. Locate the name of the volunteer and click the "Un-assign" button

The item is no longer assigned to that particular volunteer.

RECORD A STORAGE ITEM

When an item is not in use, but is in the possession of a volunteer, you may record the item as being in storage.
The steps are identical to the "Record a Returned Item" above. However, instead of clicking the un-assign button, you will click the "Storage" button.

RE-ASSIGN AN INVENTORY ITEM

There may be instances where volunteers swap inventory items to accommodate their particular circumstance.
You may record this transaction by re-assigning the inventory item.
The steps are identical to the "Record a Returned Item" above. However, instead of clicking the un-assign button, you will click the "Re-assign" button. This will take you to the list of volunteers where you click on the "In Use" button, which will transfer the inventory to its new home.
