Belongings and insurance

Where to find it

Sidebar: Belongings, only when Home & belongings is on. Insurance is a tab on that page. Settings → Add-ons is where an owner switches the module. On a phone, Belongings is under More.

Home & belongings covers the things you would need for a warranty or an insurance claim, and the policies themselves. If the sidebar has no Belongings item, the module is off. An owner switches it on under Settings → Add-ons. Switching it off hides the pages and keeps the data.

1. Open Belongings and add the item. Quick add can start a new one with the camera when the module is on. Slots cover a photo of the item, the receipt and the label.
2. When AI extras is on, Jarful can read a brand, model and serial from a label, and it only fills empty fields. Replacement values are shown as estimates, with where the figure came from. They are not a quote.
3. Warranty dates raise a Needs attention tile before a warranty ends. Renewal dates do the same for a policy, 30 days and 7 days out.
4. Open the Insurance tab and upload a policy schedule (PDF or photos). The sheet is there so you can check what it read before anything is saved. Unsure fields are marked for a check. You can link the premium payments that are already in your transactions.
5. Compare the belongings total with your contents cover from the belongings tools, and build a claim pack (a ZIP or a printable page of photos and receipts) when you need one.

What this does not do

This is a register, not a claim lodged with an insurer, and not a payment. If the module is off, the pages are hidden. Replacement values are estimates. Reading a photo or a policy uses AI extras, which have a fair-use limit and no published number.
