How to use Binly Review and item reminders

Review gathers active places and items with supported follow-up reasons. Each record can have more than one reason, so resolving one does not necessarily remove it from the list.

• Place review: a place is marked as needing review or its review interval has passed since the last review or creation.
• Item dates: an expiration, reminder, or warranty expiration date has been reached.
• Still checked out: an item appears immediately while checked out.
• Recently Viewed: a separate filter shows places and items opened in the past 30 days, including recorded shared or public views.

Recently Viewed is a way to revisit records; a recent view does not itself mean an item is overdue. Archived records stay out of Review.

Inspect what the record describes, then update the relevant state or date. Simply opening the record is not a substitute for completing the check.

1. Open Tools → Review.
2. Choose a Review reason and Inventory, or search for a particular name.
3. For a place, open it and compare its saved contents with the physical storage. Correct moved items or outdated photos.
4. Use the place's Review action and Looks Good when the record accurately reflects the contents.
5. For an item date, complete the real-world task and edit or remove the relevant date. For a returned item, use Check In.
6. Recheck the remaining reasons if the record still appears.

In a worked example, inspect the flashlight and batteries in an emergency-supplies bin, refresh an outdated photo, and then confirm the place review. A warranty reminder on a different item remains a separate task.

Set applicable dates on item records and configure delivery and timing in Preferences → Notifications. The Review list and notification delivery serve different purposes.

Choose the notification types and intervals you want and save the settings. If several place-review intervals are selected, the shortest determines when a place becomes due. Item date notifications can be configured before the date even though Review uses the reached date.

Checked-out items appear in Review immediately; checkout alert intervals determine reminders, not whether the item is listed. Available notification features depend on account eligibility. Checkout tracking has its own workflow.

Review connects the follow-up directly to the place or item record, including its photo and location. A calendar remains useful for appointments and time-specific plans, while a spreadsheet can support custom schedules.

Use Review when the object is the starting point. Keep a calendar event too if the task needs a specific appointment that the inventory record does not schedule.

Opening a record records a visit, but does not confirm contents, remove an old date, or return a checked-out item. Resolve the specific reason shown on the record.

• Place still due: complete its Review action after checking it.
• Date still reached: update or remove the correct field after completing the task.
• Several reasons: handle each one that applies.
• No notification: inspect delivery settings, selected intervals, and account eligibility separately.
• Bulk action: check its filtered scope; matching editable records can include more than those currently visible.
