Never inventoried before? When your inventory is empty, CueCall shows three quick ways to get items in. Every item is organized into CueCall's standard categories so it's ready to share or list on the Rental Marketplace.

Snap a photo (AI): Click Scan Photo (or "Snap a photo" on the empty screen) and take or upload a picture. AI detects every item in the shot — photograph a whole rack of costumes or a shelf of props and it drafts a row for each one. Review the table, edit names/categories/quantities, deselect or remove anything, set a shared storage location and ownership, then add them all at once. The photo is attached to each created item automatically.
Upload a spreadsheet: Already have a list? Download the Excel template from Bulk Actions → Download Template, fill it in, and upload it to add many items at once.
Add manually: Enter a single item yourself with full control over every field.

AI photo analysis is a premium feature (or available with your own Gemini API key in Settings). You can always fall back to manual entry if AI is unavailable.

Managing Inventory: Bulk Delete & Remove — Manage multiple inventory items at once using bulk actions. The behavior differs between your library inventory and show-level inventory.
Managing Inventory: Fitting Photos — Photograph actors wearing their costumes at fittings and dress rehearsals. Each photo is filed on the actor and on every costume piece in frame, so you can find it from either side — and turn the set…
