Welcome to IMPS
IMPS is an open source tool for managing items in storage. You can use IMPS to keep an inventory of your stored items, organizing them into containers (boxes), categories, and locations. Once items are in the database, you can view them based on their names, attributes, or as a tiled page of photographs. IMPS is released under the GPL-3.0 license, which means you are free to use and change it as you like.
Items and boxes
IMPS uses the idea of "items" for the things that you are storing, and the concept of "boxes" for the containers in which they are stored. Every item is required to have an name and be assigned to a box. Optionally, items can also have a category, photo, and description. You can find items in your inventory by searching, by viewing items from a particular category, in a selected location, or in a specific box.
QR codes
IMPS makes viewing the contents of a box as easy as scanning a QR code. Once you have added a box to IMPS, you can print out a label that provides human-readable information (a box number and box name) as well as a QR code that links to the IMPS page for that box. Scan the QR code with your phone and IMPS will open the box inventory, showing you a list of all the items in the box, without you ever needing to take it down from the shelf and open it
Two views
IMPs is designed to be used on either a desktop computer or a mobile device. On many IMPS pages, you will see a view switch at the top. Clicking the non-highlighted view will switch to the other view. If you are viewing the contents of a box in the desktop view , click the mobile icon and IMPS will show you the box contents in the mobile view. IMPS will remember which view you were using last and show that view across the program.
The mobile view is a tiled view of all the image items for the page you are viewing. The desktop view is a tablular list with sortable columns.
