The Inventory Reorder Listing has a new summary line that will total On Hand counts when the Grouped by Caliber option is enabled. This report, with totals, can be printed with the new button at the top right of the report. This report is great of keeping track of your ammo inventory.
If the Inventory Reorder Listing report is not being displayed on your main page it can be enabled by going to the Settings menu option and selecting the first option in the list System Settings, in the Home Page section simply palce a check in the Display Iventory List option.
A new report that graphs the usage of all calibers over time, Ammo Usage Over Time has been added. The report can be accessed from the system report menu at the end of the Graphs section.
Each caliber will have a line in the chart with a total of the number of rounds shot for each year. Clicking on the caliber in the legend (at the top of the graph) will toggle the caliber line in the chart, making it easier to analyse a specific caliber. This new report can be used to see trends in the ammo that you are using. This information can help in making decisions about reloading component purchases or ammo inventory stocking.
The Range Information screen has several changes that are designed to provide access to more information (Maintenance History) and quicker\easier access (pop-outs , pop-outs are not available on mobile devices) when making notes on a range trip. Below you can see the three information panels on the Range Information screen.
When entering range notes it is often useful to review maintenance notes, the new Maintenance History panel provides direct access to this information. By default, the panel will be closed but can be quickly opened by clicking on the Maintenance History text in the header. A count of the number of notes has been added to the end of the header text in parentheses. This new panel will provide a quick reference to all maintenance notes and images.
On the far right of the header is a button that can be used to include or exclude images in the notes. Removing images can make reading the notes easier.
The Range History panel has been modified to work like the new Maintenance History panel by adding a count of range notes and a pop-out link to the existing panel.
Images can be removed from the Range History to increase readability and to make loading of the information quicker.
Below is a sample layout with both the Maintenance History and Range History panel pop-outs being used.
A Caliber Grouping System has been added to ArmoryBook.
To make the explanation below easier to follow, an explanation on how caliber assignment is currently utilized in ArmoryBook is required. Currently each gun is assigned a caliber, this caliber is used to limit the Ammo Shot list in the Range Information screen. Only ammo of the assigned caliber is listed. This is done to make the list shorter and more manageable. A side effect is that guns that can shoot multiple calibers do not have access to any calibers other then what was originally assigned.
The new Caliber Grouping System allows multiple ammo calibers to be included as available ammo when entering range information. For example, allowing .223 and 5.56 ammo to be listed for a gun an AR group can be created. All calibers added to a caliber group will be available for any gun with a caliber in that group. The system comes with NO pre-configured caliber groups. Caliber groups are configured from the Caliber Groups option under the main menu gear icon.
To add a caliber group simple hit the icon and enter a descriptive name for your new group, next place a check next to all caliber that you want associated with this group. Keep in mind that YOU are determining the caliber groups and are responsible for selecting the proper ammo for each gun.
Looking at the image below you can see that both .223 and 5.56 ammo is available in the Ammo Shot options.
