Grid View

The Item Grid View is an alternative view of the items in your item database. This is typically used to make bulk edits to your item list. The search criteria on the standard Item Options tab will apply to the list you see here in the grid view.

Hovering over the header of any column reveals a small triangle on the right side of the cell. Click on the arrow to reveal a pop-up menu where you can sort the list in Ascending or Descending order. So, if you are clicking on the Manufacturer column and sort it Ascending, the items will be displayed in alphabetical manufacturer order.

You can click on most of the cells in the grid list to modify the details of that cell. For example, you could click on the unit field and enter the unit of measure for the item. If the field has a list of items available, you can use the dropdown arrow to the right of the cell to choose from the list of available options.

Additionally, the order of the columns can be rearranged by clicking on the column header and dragging it between other column headers. This can be helpful if you are trying to look at two columns that are at opposite ends of the grid view.

Some fields, like the modification details, are not modifiable as they are changed by the system.
