Studio Equipment Lending Log

A single-admin log for a small video studio to track cameras, microphones and lights, record and confirm loans, log returns, and see which equipment is currently out on loan.

Product decisions

Choices you can confirm directly in the Blueprint.

When a loan is recorded, should it start as Pending awaiting the admin's confirmation, or should the admin only be able to create loans that are already On loan?ConfirmedWhen a loan is recorded, should it start as Pending awaiting the admin's confirmation, or should the admin only be able to create loans that are already On loan?
Admin records a loan as Pending, then confirms it
How should an equipment item's status change when a loan is confirmed and when it is returned?ConfirmedHow should an equipment item's status change when a loan is confirmed and when it is returned?
Status follows loans automatically

Assumptions

Items that should be verified before implementation.

The admin records each loan as Pending and then confirms it as On loan; borrowers do not submit loans themselves.

High impactAccepted

Confirming a loan sets the equipment to On loan and logging a return sets it back to Available; Maintenance is set manually by the admin.

High impactAccepted

Exactly one signed-in admin uses the app; there are no borrower accounts or other roles.

Medium impactAccepted

No messages, notifications, deposits, scanning or hardware are included; due dates are only shown in the outstanding list.

Low impactAccepted
