Quick Entry

Quick Entry lists hundreds of objects that are common to most households. For fast and simple inventorying, simply choose objects from the list that exist in a given room in your home.

From the Objects module or one of the Rooms modules, click on Quick Entry in the Toolbar to toggle to the Quick Entry view.

The left column contains the numerous object categories and their sub-categories. Navigate the category tree as you would any other; double click (or click the ) to expand or collapse headings and sub-headings. Note that each category selection you make on the left changes the contents of the object name column on the right.

From the object name list, select the name that best suits the item you are entering and drag the selection to the Browse View. To create more than one object at a time using Quick Entry, highlight multiple object names by using the CTRL and/or SHIFT keys. Drag the selected entries to the Browse View.

Drag and Drop

Alternatively, after making your object name selection you will see the name appear in the object name field on the far right. Click on Create to add it to your inventory.

Please note that you can quickly create objects by simply typing a name in the object name field and selecting Create or hitting Enter on the keyboard.

CHI provides auto-completion based on all names pre-programmed into the object names column. Type in the first few letters and select the appropriate object name.

Objects created with Quick Entry will be given a place-holder image until you import your own image of the object. For more information, see Attaching Media.
