Customizing Your List

Review the Default Packing List

As a first step, I’d recommend visiting the Settings page to adjust the items on the list, the tags, and the multipliers. Below you’ll find explanations for all of these parameters.

Adding an Item

• Adding an item is as simple as visiting the Settings page and adding database items with the template “New Item!”
• The Settings page is just a view of the Packing List database, but it’s the best place to edit the under-the-hood properties such as the Multiplier, Weather, and Tags
• In the example below, you can see how you would add Running Shoes to your list, in this scenario the multiplier would be 0 because you only need one pair and the Tag would be Workout.

What is the Multiplier?

The template automatically calculates how many of each item you need using a smart multiplier system:

• Each database item in the Packing List database has a Multiplier property that is an estimate of how many of that item you may need per day.
• Example multipliers:
  • Jacket = 0 (one jacket for the whole trip)
  • Underwear = 1.25 (will yield extra pairs)
  • Jeans = 0.33 (wear multiple times during trip)
