Tool Collection

The Tool Collection module lets you group related tools together into sets or containers, so you can manage them as a single unit.

What it does​

Create tool collections​

When this module is enabled, a new tool type called Collection becomes available in the tool editor. A collection acts as a container that holds other tools.

When you mark a tool as a Collection:

  • A special "warehouse" is automatically created behind the scenes to hold the collection's contents
  • You can add other tools to this collection
  • You can also add "other contents" — untracked items or notes (e.g., "3x screwdriver bits, 1x carrying case")
  • The collection's name syncs with the tool's nickname

Browse collection contents​

From a collection tool's detail page, a link takes you to the collection's content view where you can:

  • See all tools in the collection
  • Add new tools directly into the collection
  • Add/reorder/edit other (untracked) contents (admin only)
  • Search and filter tools within the collection

How collections differ from warehouses​

Collections are essentially specialized warehouses tied to a specific tool. They appear in the "give to" flow as transfer targets, but they are visually distinct from regular warehouses and are managed through their parent tool.

Where you see it in the app​

  • Company Settings → Optional Modules → Tool Collection toggle
  • Tool editor → Tool type selector gains a "Collection" option
  • Tool detail page → "See contents" link on collection tools
  • Collection contents view → List of tools + other contents
  • Give tool flow → Collections appear as transfer targets

How to activate​

Go to Company Settings and scroll down to Optional Modules. Toggle on Tool Collection, then save. The Collection tool type will appear in the tool editor.

Pricing​

The price is shown next to the toggle in Company Settings. It is free on the Free plan.
