Know where each sign is, what condition it is in and who owns it
The Signs module manages the physical stock of outdoor signs: the ones placed on the properties you market, with your logo, your brand or your contact details.
The system lets you know how many signs you have, where each one is right now, and keep the complete history of their movements between the warehouse, your branches, the properties and the workshop.
The module requires the Pro+ plan or higher. Without that plan you can view the inventory, but the buttons to create signs, create sign types and schedule work orders will offer you the plan upgrade.
Three different things about the same sign
This is the core idea of the module, and understanding it makes everything else explain itself. For each sign, the system stores three independent pieces of data:
| What it answers | Values | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it is | the physical location right now | Warehouse · Branch · Property · Workshop / Third party |
| What condition it is in | whether it is usable | Good · Damaged · Under repair · Discarded |
| Who owns it | which branch is the owner | any of your branches |
They are independent: a sign can be damaged, placed on a property and belong to the North branch, all three at the same time.
Moving a sign does not change who owns it. If you store a sign from Head Office at the North branch, it still belongs to Head Office. To change the owner there is a separate, explicit action: Transfer. See Where a sign is.
