Overview
The ToolWatch Item Browser is a flexible workspace where you can organize inventory data to quickly locate tools and materials. You can customize the columns displayed in your browser to focus on the specific data points that matter most to your team.
Customizing your view offers two key benefits:
Persistence: Your column settings are saved to your individual User Profile. Your preferred layout will remain active every time you log in to the ToolWatch web platform.
Reporting: The columns you select in the Visible Columns list are the exact fields included when you use the Export Data function.
