Uploading Items ​

Items are created one at a time using a step-by-step form. There is no bulk upload.

Creating an Item ​

  1. Open a hoard and go to the Items (or Wishlist) tab.
  2. Click the Add Item button.
  3. Work through the steps (see below). Only the item name is required; every other step is optional, and you can click the step markers to jump around. A live preview shows how the card will look.
  4. Click Create Item.

Images are uploaded automatically when you submit the form. A progress bar shows upload status when images are being processed.

Steps ​

The form has these steps, in order: Basics, Images, Status, Custom Fields (only if the hoard defines any), Privacy, Appearance.

Basics ​

  • Item Name: required
  • Description: optional; describe the item, its condition, features, etc.
  • Tags: optional; categorise the item. Supports hierarchy using colons (e.g. genre:fantasy)
  • Price: optional; the price you paid for this item (uses the hoard's currency)

Images ​

Upload one or more photos of the item. The first image is used as the thumbnail in grid views.

  • Supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF
  • File size: free accounts have a per-image size limit of a few megabytes; Copper and Silver supporters can upload much larger images. If a file is too large you'll see a message that it's too large for a free account.
  • Images are automatically optimised after upload

Status ​

Set the item's acquisition status:

StatusDescription
OwnedYou have this item; appears in the Items tab
WishlistYou want this item; appears in the Wishlist tab
OrderedYou've ordered it but not received it; appears in the Wishlist tab

When Wishlist or Ordered is selected, additional fields become available:

  • Priority: star rating for how much you want it
  • Target price: the price you're hoping to pay
  • Notes: any notes about acquiring it

Custom Fields ​

This step only appears if the hoard has custom fields defined (e.g. Condition, Rarity, Grade). The fields available depend entirely on what the hoard owner has configured.

Privacy ​

Choose who can see the item:

OptionWho can see it
PublicEveryone
FriendsOnly your friends
PrivateOnly you, plus anyone with permission on the hoard

New items default to the hoard's configured default item privacy. An item is never more visible than its hoard.

Appearance ​

Optionally choose a decorative frame for the item card. If left unset, the hoard's default frame is used.
