Inventory Management

[strgzr]

Hi all! Happy New Year!

I'm a new user of AB and am quickly picking up the ins and outs of the software.

As a test I created a 'boilerplate' Tau army with one of everything and saved
it as an XML file. Then imported it into Excel (2003) just to see the structure.

This way I can get a jump start on an inventory management spreadsheet
that I can use in conjunction with AB.

But comparing the AB list and the inventory still involves two separate pieces of software. Has there been any discussions about adding inventory management to AB?

cheers!

Inventory management is a lot more complex than it first would seem, especially for games like 40K. For details on the topic, please see the following link:

Inventory management is something that we've been giving a lot of thought to and have been working on for awhile now. We've got some ideas for how to tackle it that we're actively exploring. Once we have a good solution, you can be assured we'll get it added.

Thanks Rob - Yes, Inventory management is not simple and different customers may indeed want different sets of functionality. This does make the task difficult should you wish to include this feature.

If and when you get to the BETA stage, please keep me in mind for a tester. If you are still gathering input I'd like to have the opportunity to contribute.
