Custom Inventory Fields

A technician can add custom types and custom fields within the inventory list to further enhance the management and tracking of inventory items tailored to the specific needs of the bitcoin mining facility. This capability allows for the inclusion of unique data points that are relevant to their operations, such as part compatibility, supplier information, or specific notes on usage and handling. By defining these custom fields, technicians can streamline workflows, improve search-ability within the inventory, and ensure that all relevant information is accessible when needed. This customization aids in maintaining a detailed and efficient inventory system that supports proactive management and reduces the likelihood of operational disruptions due to inventory shortages or mismatches.
