Guides

Guides to keeping a record that survives being asked about.

Long-form answers to the questions that come before choosing software: what a scheme actually requires, what belongs on a list, and which parts are somebody's job rather than a feature. Written from primary sources and free to read.

What a guide is here, and what it is not

KitLog publishes three different kinds of page about the same subject, and mixing them up wastes your time. A guide explains a problem and cites where its claims come from — it is useful whether or not you ever use the product, and it says plainly where the product stops. A template page hands over a specific spreadsheet or document and explains its columns. A product page describes what KitLog does and is trying to sell you something. This section is the first kind. Nothing here is behind a signup, an email address or a script, and the honest limits are part of the writing rather than a disclaimer at the bottom.

Published guides

None of this needs an account. If the register itself is the job rather than the reading, KitLog keeps one: who holds each item, what happened to it, and what is still out when somebody leaves.
