Storage Basics

Shelf location

Where a container or item lives on a shelf, rack, or closet rod.

What it means

Where a container or item lives on a shelf, rack, or closet rod.

Why it matters

Shelf spots change when life changes. Records beat memory.

Example

Craft paper moved from closet shelf 2 to garage shelf 1—update the record once.

How Totely helps

Track shelf and zone locations alongside container contents.
