As a hobbyist with 1000's of parts, I need a part management system, just to find my components back. I installed Bomist, which looks like a nice system, with more features than I need.
One -important - thing is missing though. Is there a way to indicate where precisely a part is stored, so that it appears in the displayed line of the part?
I can use the 'storage' field to identify identify the about 15 drawer racks, 25 boxes etc. that I have by making a drop down entry for each of them (Would rather enter the generic 'HT6x4-rack' and add a number)
However, I cannot indicate where in a rack (with 33 drawers, each having 3 slots) the part is actually stored.
I can put that info under 'notes' as a text field, but then it is difficult to sort and printing a part index.
Would it be complex to add an alphanumeric field for part_location?
