This guide shows you how to manage individual items in your Log-E catalog by adding notes, tags, and photos to specific serial numbers. These tools help improve tracking, documentation, and accountability for your equipment.
What You Can Do
With Log-E’s item management features, you can:
Add photos to end items or entire catalog items
Write notes (e.g., missing cables, damage, usage instructions)
on the LIN/NSN level OR individual end items
Apply existing tags or create custom tags to quickly label items by condition, issue, or category.
Add items to a sub hand receipt for transfers or tracking
Open Your Catalog
Tap on Equipment in the bottom navigation menu.
Open your unit’s Catalog by tapping on the three vertical dots (⋮) next to your unit's name (e.g., Bravo Company).
Select a Line Item Number (e.g., 63026N).
Then click on a specific End Item to open the item details.
Add a Photo
You can only add photos after opening a specific line item. Tap the unique line item under the main line item number to open the item details, then follow the steps below.
Tap Add a quick photo to use your device's camera to take a picture of the:
End Item
Serial Number Plate
and/or the Barcode
If available, you can access the flash option, say if you're taking a photo of the item in a dark room or at night.
Or, at the bottom of the item page:
Tap Capture to take a new photo with your device.
Or tap Upload photos to upload from your device's photo library.
Once added, the image will begin uploading automatically.
Set Photo Preferences
After the photo uploads:
Tap the Star icon to make it the default image for the entire catalog item. Tap again to remove that designation.
To delete the photo, tap the Trash icon.
Add a Note
Tap the Notes tab in the top right corner.
Tap the Pencil icon in the bottom left corner.
Enter your note (e.g., Missing HDMI cable). Then tap Save.
The note is now linked to the serial number.
Note: The most recently added note will appear within the catalog directly under the item number, making it easy to see the latest information at a glance.
Add a Tag
Tap the Tag icon.
Select the tag(s) that fit what you're looking for.
The tag will be saved and displayed in the item summary.
📌 NEW: Create a Custom Tag
If the tag you need isn’t available, you can create a custom tag to use when organizing and tracking items.
For step-by-step instructions on creating custom tags, see the How to Create Custom Tags guide.
Note: When creating a tag, you can choose whether the tag is available to your team only or to the entire command.
Apply Tags to Items (Team Hierarchy Rules)
Tags follow the team hand receipt hierarchy:
Team A = primary hand receipt
Team B = sub-hand receipt 1
Team C = sub-hand receipt 2
If a tag is applied to Team A, it will also be available to Teams B and C.
If a tag is applied to Team A and Team C, it will not appear for Team B, and vice versa.
This ensures tags are properly scoped based on your chain of responsibility.
Assign Items to a Subhand Receipt (Optional)
Click on an item's photo thumbnail that you'd like to assign to a sub hand receipt by clicking the dropdown and choosing each individual end item or bulk select by click the photo icon of the line item.
Once satisfied, tap the three stacked dots in the bottom right to include item(s) in a sub hand receipt for personnel tracking or equipment handoffs.
You can create a new sub hand receipt or add the item(s) to an existing sub hand receipt. Then tap Assign.
Best Practices
Use team-scoped tags to keep tracking relevant and avoid clutter.
Apply tags following the hand receipt hierarchy to ensure visibility across sub-hand receipts.
Use photos to visually document damage, modifications, or condition.
Adding images to the LIN/NSN level allows all users across the Enterprise to have a reference photo
Always double-check that notes are attached to the correct end item.
