Creating an inventory database
Overview
Creating an inventory database provides you with a variety of useful data to keep track of your assets or items in stock.Ā Having detailed inventory reports helps you spot trends, maintain adequate supplies and spot potential problems.Ā
In this example, we will build an inventory database using Scaffolding.
Here is a video that steps you through the process of creating an inventory database:
Ā
Each inventory itemĀ will be stored as a page, share the same format, layout and sections
your team members will use the template to record new inventory items
Confluence users can then access the inventory record to get information
You can also make changes to the template in the future and these changes automatically update all the pages your users have created.
Use Case
Background | Your organization assets and items are increasing day by day. Restocking and replenishing items is becoming a heavy chore. |
Solution | You want to be able to keep track of all your inventory and end users provided a simple way to fill in a form each time there are any updates to inventory items. For you as as the administrator you want to be able to create a template that can be edited with one click and change reflected on every page using the template. |
Final Outcome | You have setup an Inventory Database space, then created a live template for the Inventory form with Scaffolding Cloud using key fields you created usingĀ Field Group macro.Ā End ResultĀ |
Building the knowledge base system
