How to turn on/off VinLocate notifications

VinLocate Notification controls one thing: whether InVintory offers to put bottles into their 3D slots straight after you have added them to your collection. It is on by default, and you turn it on or off in Settings.

It is not a push notification and has nothing to do with drink windows or reminders. Nothing is sent to your phone; it only decides what happens on screen the moment you finish adding bottles.

Turning it on or off

Section titled “Turning it on or off”
  1. Open Settings — on Home, tap your profile photo in the top right, then Settings and Account settings. On iPad, tap your profile photo in the top bar, then Settings. On iPhone with an older iOS, tap the gear icon on the home screen and choose Account settings, or open the Profile tab and tap the gear icon.
  2. Scroll to Preferences.
  3. Switch VinLocate Notification on or off.
iPhone:  Home → your profile photo → Settings → Account settings → Preferences → VinLocate Notification

The setting is saved on the device you change it on, so your iPhone and your iPad each keep their own answer.

What it changes

Section titled “What it changes”

The wording under the switch says it exactly: On iPhone, this determines whether the “Add to VinLocate” popup appears. On iPad, it determines whether or not adding bottles will go directly into VinLocate.

Switched on Switched off
iPhone After adding bottles, an Add to 3D positions panel appears listing each storage you added to You get the normal confirmation and the bottles wait in your collection without a position
iPad Adding bottles takes you straight into the 3D view to place them Bottles are filed to the storage and nothing opens

On the panel itself, Add to 3D beside a storage opens the 3D view for it, each storage turns to Added as you finish, and Skip closes the panel and leaves the bottles unplaced. Skipping costs you nothing — you can place them any time, and the Without a 3D position filter lists everything still waiting.

On Android and the web

Section titled “On Android and the web”

In the Android app (version 1.7.0 or later), VinLocate Notification in Settings works as it does on iPhone: after you tap Done on the Added to collection sheet, the Add to 3D positions panel appears, with the same Don’t ask me this again checkbox.

There is no switch on app.invintory.com. When you add bottles to a single storage there, the confirmation carries an Add to 3D position button — Add to 3D positions for several bottles. Click it to place them now, or ignore it.
