A batch arrives with an automatic name like Print list — Aug 18, 2026, which tells you nothing in six months. The batch panel gives you four fields to fix that, and all four stay editable at every status — including Deployed.

Renaming a batch

Click the batch name at the top of the panel and it becomes an input. Enter or clicking away saves; Escape cancels. An empty name is ignored, so you cannot accidentally blank it. Names are what the Access Media search box matches on, so make them searchable rather than decorative: “Depot 2 replacements, March” beats “Batch 14”.

Notes

The Notes box is free text and saves when you click out of it. Use it for the things you will want and never remember — the supplier, the material and finish, the quote number, the reason for the run, anything odd about the order. Notes are searched alongside the name on the Access Media page, so a supplier name typed here is enough to find every run you ordered from them.

Tags

Tags are chips, one word or phrase each, for grouping runs that belong together — depot-2, stickers, reprint, q3.
  • Type and press Enter to commit a tag. A trailing comma commits it too, so you can type depot-2, stickers, straight through.
  • Backspace in an empty tag box removes the last tag.
  • Click the x on a chip to remove that specific tag.
  • Tags are stored lowercase, and a tag you already have is ignored rather than duplicated.
In the Print History panel, every tag in use appears as a filter chip, so tagging is the fastest way to pull up “every reprint” or “everything for depot 2” later.

Cover photo

The Image field takes one photo of the finished media — the printed sticker on the roll, the engraved plaque, the sign on the wall. Upload any image file; it is stored privately and served back through QRtub rather than from a public URL. Once set, the photo appears as a thumbnail beside the batch in the Print History list, which makes visual identification much faster than reading names. Deleting the batch deletes the photo with it. A photo is a useful stand-in for the Media detail QRtub does not track — there is no field for material, cost or supplier, so a picture plus a line in the notes is the practical substitute.
