plamotrack moves every kit through a six-stage pipeline. The Home page is your command centre — it shows what’s on the bench, what’s waiting, what’s in the mail, and what you’ve finished recently. Everything updates the moment you change a kit’s status, so the page always reflects the state of your actual collection.

​
The six stages

Every kit you track lives in exactly one of these stages at any given time: “Backlog” means physically in your hands but not yet started. plamotrack is unapologetic about this.

​
The Home page

The Home page divides your collection into four sections, each designed to answer a specific question at a glance.
Home, with active builds on the bench, the backlog, recently completed kits and incoming orders.Home, with active builds on the bench, the backlog, recently completed kits and incoming orders.

Home: the bench first, then the backlog and the shelf, then what's in the mail. All collection details shown here are invented demo data.

On the bench shows every kit currently in Building status, by build start date. Each card displays the kit’s start date, a running day counter, and your most recent build note. If a build is taking longer than expected, you’ll know exactly how long. Backlog shows the six newest arrivals and Recently completed the six latest finished builds, by the date each card shows, with the total count displayed beside the heading. A build with no date shows ”—” and comes after the dated ones; give it a date in the kit’s edit dialog to put it in its place. Both sections include a “view all” link that opens the full filtered list — so if you have 47 kits in backlog, you’re never pretending otherwise. In the mail shows all your outstanding orders — pre-ordered, ordered, and in-transit — as order cards. Each card shows the retailer, carrier, and tracking number (once the order ships). This is the money still in flight.

​
Moving a kit

Use a kit card’s edit control to change its Status, Build started or Build completed date. Moving it to Building or Complete fills the matching date if it is empty; an existing date is preserved. A rating is optional. Order cards open Edit order, where Shipped on and Received on record shipping and arrival. See Kits & Orders for the steps.

​
Filtering and browsing

The list pages — Kits, Orders, Inventory and Retailers — each have a search box, filters and a sort control. Whatever you choose is kept in the page’s address, so a view you use regularly can be bookmarked and reopens exactly as you left it:
  • All kits in backlog
  • Orders from a specific retailer
  • Completed builds in a particular series
Kits opens on Newest added. Its other sorts are Oldest added, Recently started, Recently completed and Name A–Z; the date sorts follow the dates the list shows.
The Kits page filtered to Backlog, with the search box, status filter, series filter and sort control above the list.The Kits page filtered to Backlog, with the search box, status filter, series filter and sort control above the list.

Kits, filtered to the backlog. The filter is part of the address, so this view can be bookmarked.

Complete builds carry a start date, finish date, rating (1–5), and a series name you choose yourself. Series names become filters — “all Iron-Blooded Orphans builds” is a real query. Consistent spelling matters, so check your existing series names before adding a new one.
