What you’ll accomplish

Add a Nestiva inventory category when the built-in choices do not match the belongings you track.

How to do it

  1. Open Inventory management

    Use the quick action menu and choose Categories.

  2. Add a category

    Enter a short, reusable category name.

  3. Save it

    The category becomes available when adding or editing items.

  4. Apply it consistently

    Move related items into the new category so browsing remains useful.

Before you finish

Check that you are in the intended Personal or household workspace and review the saved result. Nestiva keeps each workspace separate so the same action can produce different records or settings depending on the active space.
