Using gear labels

Labels connect your physical gear to GearScout. They speed up scanning for members and let non-members reach a public item page when they find or damage a tagged item.

Single labels and bulk labels

Print a single label from an item record or generate a batch when you are labeling an entire storage area.

Current labels section on the inventory detail page

Generate multiple labels

  1. 1Open the bulk labels page from an inventory record or the inventory tools.
  2. 2Choose how many labels you want for each item in the batch.
  3. 3Generate the PDF and print it on the label stock your group uses.

Public item pages

Every label can route to a focused public item page with a small set of safe actions, plus contained-gear packing lists and parent-item links when the item lives inside another kit.

Current public item page

The public item page is intentionally simple. It is designed for quick access and for the person who found the item or noticed damage, not for a signed-in admin.

If the scanned item is a bag, case, or kit, the page can also show a contained-gear packing list. If the scanned item is inside another piece of gear, the page includes a link back to the parent item so the relationship stays easy to understand.

Report a found or lost item

  1. 1Scan the label to open the public item page.
  2. 2Choose the found-item flow and provide your name plus any useful context.
  3. 3Submit the report so the group can follow up from the internal app.

Open a repair ticket from the public page

Use the repair action on the public item page to reach the same public repair flow shown in the live app.

Public repair form

The public repair form stays focused on the problem report itself so non-members can submit useful detail without needing the full app.

Current public repair form
  1. 1Open the public item page from the label.
  2. 2Choose Submit repair ticket.
  3. 3Add a short summary, enough detail for the repair team to act on it, and photos if the issue is easier to explain visually.
