Stock
The food you have in your kitchen

The Stock tab
​
The Stock tab is where you can find and manage your stock items.
​
Stock items are listed in increasing order of their use-by date. All items with the same use-by date are grouped together under a heading for that date. The last heading is "No use by date".
​
Within each group, items are listed in increasing order of their best-before date, should they have one. This is most useful for items without a use-by date.
​
If a stock item name is coloured red, it has passed its use-by date, and should be thrown away. If it is coloured orange, it has passed it best-before date, and should be used soon.
Each stock item has:
-
a name
-
a brand
-
a location
-
a photo
-
a note icon.
​
It might have:
-
a use-by date
-
a best-before date
-
action buttons.
In the Stock tab you can:
-
add a stock item
-
edit a stock item
-
search for a stock item
-
view a stock item photo
-
change a stock item photo
-
view and edit product and stock item notes
-
perform an action
-
delete a stock item.
