Kits Stay Together on a Booking in the App

Kits Stay Together on a Booking in the App

In Shelf Companion, a booking that holds a kit now shows the kit as one row with its assets inside, and one tap selects the whole kit to check out, check in or remove.

On the phone, a booking used to list a kit's assets one by one, spread through the list by status, with a small kit name on each row. Someone packing a camera case could not see the case.

In Shelf Companion, a booking that holds a kit now shows one row for the kit, the way the web booking page does: its name, image, how many of its assets are on the booking, and its status. Tap it to see the assets inside. When you select items to check out, check in or remove, tapping the kit row selects every asset in it that can take that action. Removing a kit takes off the whole kit only when the booking holds all of it and every asset is selected, so nothing you did not pick leaves the booking.

Two fixes came with it. A kit added to a booking from the phone now keeps its grouping, on the phone and on the web booking page; before, it arrived as loose assets. And the Assets list names the kit an asset belongs to, with a +N when a pooled asset sits in more than one.

This reached every phone on version 1.5.0 as an over-the-air update. The app picks it up in the background and shows it the next time you open it, with nothing to install from the store.
