When you create your PackTrack account, you choose a purpose that pre-configures the app for your use-case. Here's what each option means.
Best for: people packing up a home, office, or storage unit and moving to a new location.
The Moving setup pre-configures PackTrack with terminology and fields suited to a move:
Typical workflow: create Properties for your origin/destination addresses → create Rooms within each Property → create Boxes as you pack → add Items → print QR labels → scan on arrival to locate everything.
Best for: households or businesses that want a comprehensive record of everything they own.
The Inventory setup pre-configures PackTrack for cataloguing and valuation:
Typical workflow: create Areas for rooms or storage spaces → add Rooms within each Area → add Items with values and quantities → use Reports to generate a full valuation list.
Best for: creating a detailed home inventory for insurance claims, valuations, or estate planning.
The Insurance setup enables all the fields an insurer or assessor would need:
Typical workflow: photograph each valuable item → record its serial number and value → export a Valuation Report as evidence for your insurer.
Best for: any use-case that doesn't fit neatly into the above — tool libraries, craft supplies, spare parts, collections, or anything else you want to organise.
The Other setup uses the default PackTrack configuration with no pre-set customisations:
You can always adjust which optional fields are enabled after registration — your choice here is just a starting point, not a permanent decision.
Your initial choice configures which optional fields are enabled by default, but nothing is locked in. A Site Admin can enable or disable any optional field at any time from Site Administration → Site Settings. You can also rename the labels for Areas, Locations, Boxes, and Items to match your own terminology.
