This feature is part of the Smart Ops release. 



Existing Purchased Items can be viewed in Smart Ops on the Items page. Here, Users can view Items, edit Item details, and assign Items to Location Groups. 


Location Groups are used to define which Items can be used by each Location. By assigning Location Groups to Items, Users will only be able to view and edit Items that are associated with the Location(s) they have access to. Learn more about Location Groups in Smart Ops here.
