Counters and groups

Create saved counters, set how they count, and group them so the totals add up for you.

Create a counter

In the dashboard, choose Create a counter. A name is optional, and you can set the value it starts from.

To make many at once, choose Create a numbered set: a name like Runner and how many, from 1 to 200. The set arrives in its own group that adds up its counters. Numbered sets are part of Pro. Undo on the confirmation removes the whole set.

Counter settings

SettingWhat it does
Increment by, Decrement byCount in steps, like +5 for a case of five.
ModeBoth directions, Increment only, or Decrement only.
GoalA target the counter shows progress toward.
Group totalWhether the counter adds to, subtracts from, or is left out of its group's total.

Groups and totals

Put counters in a group, like one group per store or per builder. A group can show the sum of its counters, the net (ins minus outs), or no total.

Give each group the same counter names and a Totals tab appears, adding every group into one live total per item. That is how a chain sees every store, or a yard sees every grade, at once.

A group can also carry a capacity limit. It turns amber at 90% and red when full.

Capacity colors help a team see a count. They are not a safety, legal, or fire-code certification. Confirm capacity rules with your venue and the relevant authorities.

Fix a count

  • Set value replaces the count with the number you type.
  • Reset counter sets it back to its start. Undo appears for 10 seconds after.
  • Delete counter is open to admins and to whoever created the counter.

Locks, history, and access

Enterprise adds controls for larger crews:

  • Lock counter: members can't count until an admin unlocks it.
  • View activity: the latest 500 counts on a counter, with who and when.
  • Scheduled reset: daily, weekly, or monthly, in your timezone.
  • Counter access: members see only the counters they created or were given. Owners and admins see all. Set it in Counter access.
  • Favorites pin the counters you use most.
