A classroom full of things.
An answer before the bell.
You know you have it. Somewhere between the desk drawers, the supply tubs and the closet. Save where your classroom things go, then find them without opening every box.

How it works
1
Tell it once.
Say where the markers, labels, scissors and less-used equipment live. Include the shelf, tub or side of the drawer.
2
Ask when you need it.
Ask for the remote you use for quiz slides or the supplies for a classroom activity. Wheredai searches what you saved.
3
Keep it up to date.
Give something a more convenient home? Save the move so you—and anyone it is shared with—can find the new spot.
For your everyday supplies.
And your “I know I have one.”
Keep the useful details of your own classroom, then share the materials someone covering your class will need.
Remember the drawer within the room.
The markers and sticky labels are in the clear tub on the closet’s middle shelf. Scissors and glue sticks are in the desk’s top drawer. Save the small details that separate a useful answer from “somewhere in the classroom.”
“Where did I put the sticky labels?”
Find the equipment between uses.
A presentation remote might sit untouched between class quizzes. Save what you use it for, then update its location when you move it from the desk drawer to the tray beside your computer.
“Where’s the remote I use to change the quiz slides?”
Leave a substitute somewhere to look.
Before your absence, share the selected activity supplies with a Class cover group and invite the substitute with read-only access. They can ask where the materials are without changing your records.
“Where are the markers, labels, scissors and glue for today?”
Your classroom records.
A smaller view for cover.
Use a named group for the materials a substitute needs, and keep the rest set to Only me or shared with the appropriate staff.
Only me
Keep your own equipment records set to Only me. They stay private even from other people who manage the workspace.
Share with your people.
Create a Class cover group for yourself and the substitute, then share selected supplies with it. Their read-only workspace role lets them browse, search and ask. They can also see anything shared with Everyone, so check those records before inviting them.

Your records, coming and going.
Import an existing supplies list and review it before adding the records. Export what you can see for a classroom move or your own copy.
Import & export
For your room, and the person covering it.
Do I have to organize the whole classroom first?
No. Start with one drawer or the things you keep searching for. Save the places you already use; you do not have to reorganize the room to record them.
How do I give a substitute read-only access?
Invite them to your workspace with the read-only role. They need their own Wheredai account and must accept the invitation. They can browse, search and ask about visible records, but cannot edit them.
Does a group mean the substitute sees only those supplies?
A Class cover group gives its members access to the records shared with that group. The substitute can also see records shared with Everyone in the workspace. Keep personal records set to Only me and other staff resources in separate groups. Set up the group and invitation in workspace settings before the handoff.
Which plan includes named groups?
Named groups come with Premium, its trial, and Team. Read-only roles, workspace-wide sharing and Only me are on every plan. Each substitute counts toward your workspace’s people limit. Compare plans for current limits.
Is this for student records?
These examples are for your classroom supplies, teaching materials and equipment. Keep student records in your school’s designated systems.
What if someone moves a supply?
Someone with permission to edit needs to save its new location. A read-only substitute can tell you where it went so you can update the record. Using Wheredai currently requires an internet connection.
Keep the drawer details.
