When your district works with vendor-owned instruments, directors can manage that inventory from a dedicated districtwide vendor inventory screen.
Where to go #
From District Inventory Overview, open Manage Districtwide Vendor Inventory when that button appears (your district must have vendor inventory).
What you can do #
- Browse vendor instruments across buildings.
- Assign or quick-return pieces following the same care you use for school-owned inventory.
- Send an item back to the vendor when it should leave district circulation.
- Adjust label / print preferences for this view when offered.
Tips #
- Confirm vendor vs school ownership before promising a long-term loan to a family.
- Record returns carefully so history shows the instrument went back to the vendor.
School-owned inventory is still managed from the regular District Inventory and building Inventory tools.
