CarrylistReview the essential item selection
- Open the bag editor and select the item.
- Set its Essential option.
- Save the change.
- Check which other items are essential.
- Check the physical bag for all required items.
Understand the reminder tradeoff
Marking one item essential changes the whole bag’s reminder rule. Ordinary missing items no longer trigger it. Without essentials, all unpacked items count.
Keep this in your child’s bag list
Choose the essential flags deliberately because they change the whole bag’s reminder rule.
