You\u2019ll find that Plaky\u2019s template is a lot more customizable than any spreadsheet, allowing you to set up different field types to track different aspects of your inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The status and tag fields<\/strong> lend themselves best to customization \u2014 both can hold completely custom values. The status field<\/strong> is great for item values that are one-or-the-other, like size or location. The tag field<\/strong>, on the other hand, is best for values that can coexist, like color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the bottom of every appropriate field, there\u2019s an automatic <\/strong>summary row<\/strong><\/a>, which helps you keep track of the total values of each field. And, unlike the other templates here, it works on tags and status fields as well \u2014 so you can see the distribution of values just by looking at the colors of a certain field!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, with Plaky\u2019s template, your team is notified in real time of all changes made to the inventory \u2014 automatically and without the need for an external app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
