Lost & Found Inventory Matcher Guide

Available on Growth and higher plans, the Lost & Found dashboard automates the process of cataloging lost items and matching them to turned-in inventory.

Reporting Items

• Attendee Reports: Attendees can submit a "Lost Item Report" stating the item name, description, color, and location where it was last seen.
• Organizer Logs: Staff logs turned-in items with photos, tags, and category descriptors.

Automatic Matcher & Claims

1. The backend automatically calculates similarity scores between lost reports and found items.
2. High-probability matches trigger a notification badge on the Lost & Found Dashboard and email the attendee.
3. Organizers can review the match, verify identity on-site, and click "Claim Resolved" to remove the item from active inventory.
