Tracking the Status of Valuables
To track the in/out status of issued valuables, VR Portal includes a dedicated register for valuables. The Register (In or Out) page records all valuables that have been issued, including both currently issued items and those previously receipted back in. It shows key details, such as timestamps of each issuance and return, the holder's name, and the category of each valuable, providing a complete history of all transactions. Valuables can also be receipted back in directly from this page.

On the Register (In or Out) page, you'll see a list of all valuables that have been issued, along with their associated details.
All valuable transactions within the date range are displayed, with the most recent transactions appearing first by default.
The
In and
Out columns provide visual cues for the status of valuables. A red X icon
in the
Out column indicates the item is currently issued out to someone, while a green tick icon
in the
In column shows the valuable has been receipted back in. These icons allow
for quick identification of whether an item is still in circulation or
has been returned.
