Choosing Your Setup
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.

Moving

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:

  • Default labels: "Area" is renamed to Property, "Location" is renamed to Room. "Box" and "Item" stay as-is. All four labels can be changed at any time on the Site Administration page.
  • Destination field is enabled on both Boxes and Items — record where each box or item is headed (e.g. "Master Bedroom", "Storage", "Donate", "Sell").

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.

Inventory

Best for: households or businesses that want a comprehensive record of everything they own.

The Inventory setup pre-configures PackTrack for cataloguing and valuation:

  • Default labels: "Location" is renamed to Room. "Area", "Box", and "Item" stay as-is. All four labels can be changed at any time on the Site Administration page.
  • Value field is enabled on Items — record the current estimated value of each item.
  • Acquisition Date & Cost fields are enabled on Items — track when you bought something and what you paid.

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.

Insurance

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:

  • Default labels: "Location" is renamed to Room. "Area", "Box", and "Item" stay as-is. All four labels can be changed at any time on the Site Administration page.
  • Value — current replacement or market value of each Item.
  • Serial Number — unique identifier for electronics, appliances, and valuables.
  • Acquisition Date & Cost — original purchase date and price paid.
  • Photos — attach images of each item as proof of condition and ownership.

Typical workflow: photograph each valuable item → record its serial number and value → export a Valuation Report as evidence for your insurer.

Other

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:

  • Default labels: Area, Location, Box, and Item — no renaming applied. All four labels can be changed at any time on the Site Administration page.
  • All optional fields (Value, Serial Number, Destination, Acquisition Date) are off by default but can be enabled at any time by a Site Admin under Site Administration → Site Settings.
  • Custom labels can also be set there to match your own terminology.

You can always adjust which optional fields are enabled after registration — your choice here is just a starting point, not a permanent decision.

Changing Your Setup Later

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.
