How to create sections in a storage

Sections are the racks, bins and shelves inside a storage: open the storage, tap Create under Sections, pick a shape, then set its column, row and depth counts.

You are not asked for a name first. On iPhone, iPad and the web app each new section is named for you — Rack 1, Bin 1, Shelf 1 and so on — and you rename it afterwards from its three-dot menu. Android is the one that asks: it opens with a Section name screen before you pick a shape.

On iPhone and iPad

Section titled “On iPhone and iPad”
  1. On the home screen, under Cellars & fridges, tap your storage.
  2. Scroll to Sections and tap Create. The first time, an intro appears — tap Create your first section.
  3. Choose Rack or Bin; tap Racks vs. Bins if you are unsure. On a fridge this screen is Shelf Type and lists shelf shapes directly.
  4. Choose the shape that looks like the real thing. Racks are grouped into Trellis, Wall Mounted, Shelves and Special Display; bins into rectangles and triangles.
  5. Choose a bottle direction. It is cosmetic: it changes how bottles are drawn, never where one is found.
  6. Set Column, Row and Depth with the + / − buttons, matched to the real slot count. Depth 2 means two bottles front to back. The 3D preview rebuilds as you go.
  7. Tap Save at the bottom of the panel. You land on Create 3D sections, listing every section so far — + Add another builds the next one, Done finishes.
Home → Cellars & fridges → your storage → Sections → Create

What the shape names mean

Section titled “What the shape names mean”
Flat Lying flat, side by side. A fridge shelf can also alternate front and back.
Horizontal Lying flat with the cork to one side.
Vertical Standing upright.
Tilted Upright and tilted back.
Lattice A varied number of bottles per row.
Bin / Bins No individual slots — an open space holding any number of bottles, shown as a count.

Managing a section

Section titled “Managing a section”

Each row shows how many slots are open. Its three-dot menu holds Add bottles, Rename, Modify, Duplicate, Move Up / Move Down, Connect CellarSticker and Delete. Duplicate is the shortcut for identical racks. Deleting asks you to type CONFIRM; bottles stay in your collection and only lose their positions.

On Android and the web

Section titled “On Android and the web”

Android (beta): Cellars → open a cellar → Sections → Create. Name it first, then pick the shape and set the counts.

app.invintory.com: open a storage from the left menu, scroll to Storage Sections (Fridge Sections on a fridge) and click Create. The steps are the iPhone ones, in a window that ends on the same Create 3D sections list with + Add another and Done, and each row’s three-dot menu carries Rename.

Create or Modify is missing on my storage

If our team built your 3D cellar for you, its sections are tied to that model and cannot be reshaped or added to in the app — message us and we will adjust it.
