Editing Items

Use this guide to modify an existing item in Arda. All fields set during item creation can be changed at any time.

Steps

Step 1: Navigate to Items

Click Items in the main sidebar.

Step 2: Select the Item

Find and click the item you want to edit from the list.

Step 3: Open Edit Mode

Click the Edit button to enter edit mode.

Step 4: Modify the Fields

Change any fields you need to update:

Field	Notes
Title	The item’s display name
Quantity	Current stock count
Minimum Quantity	Adjust as you learn actual consumption patterns
Order Unit	Each, box, case, etc.
Image URL	URL pointing to an image of the item
Primary Supplier	Main vendor
SKU	Supplier part number or catalog number
Order Method	Online, phone, email, or in-store
Unit Price	Cost per order unit
Type / Subtype / Use Case	Categorization fields
Location	Storage location on the floor

Step 5: Save Your Changes

Click Update to save. Changes take effect immediately.

What to Do After Changing Location

If you change an item’s Location field, update the physical card and shelf label too:

1. Move the card to the new storage location.
2. Print a new label for the new location. See Printing in Arda.
3. Remove or cover the old label at the previous location to avoid confusion.

Tips

• Minimum Quantity is the most common field to adjust during the first few weeks. Start conservative and reduce once you understand real consumption rates.
• Changes are immediate — there is no draft or staging step for item edits.
• If you are making bulk changes across many items, consider Item CSV Import with the update action type.
