Use the Equipment Alias feature below to make swapping Inventories even easier with by unmatching and letting Alias translate to your new Inventory
Feature - A new "Equipment Alias" feature. Designed to help switching between inventories, and help convert your personal equipment naming into an Inventory Owners naming scheme. When you manually match an item in the Show Equipment page to an Inventory Item, an Alias is created to match your text to that Inventory Item. For future items, your list of Aliases will be used to automatically match to Inventory Items. For example: if you write "25ft DMX", and the Inventory has "25ft 5-Pin DMX Cable", matching those items will create an alias, and in the future, instances of "DMX" will match to "5-Pin DMX Cable" automatically. Alias are attached to specific inventories, to avoid accidental overlaps.
