View Inventory

You can learn many things about items, including their current status (available, sold, etc.), order status, description, price, etc. in the Inventory windows. Two windows show information - the Inventory and Inventory Disposition window.

The Inventory Detail display shows all information about an item. The Inventory Disposition Detail display shows a subset of the information contained in the Inventory Display. It is designed to make it easier to look at information about an item's Disposition.

A key field displayed in the Disposition Detail display is the Disposition Field.

Disposition is similar to Status, but whereas an item's Status is either Available or Unavailable, an item's Disposition can be Sold, Sold Online, Donated, Returned, Expired, on Layaway, Sold, etc. An item's Disposition is more specific than an item's Status.

Both inventory windows default to showing all items, but can be set to display specific types of items by using Filters. For instance you can view just items sold, or just items sold and not paid, or just returned items, to name a few.

Note: There is a Refresh button near the top of the screen. It is sometimes necessary to select Refresh to update the Inventory window to show recently added or updated items.

To change the field order, click and drag the field labels (the header at the top of each column) to the left and right. Do this by grabbing the field you would like to move by clicking the left mouse button, holding it and then moving the field.

To change the size of a field, hold the mouse directly over the vertical line separating each field label. The mouse pointer will change to a vertical line with two arrows pointing outwards. Click and drag the field to resize it.

Note: The changes you make here are Sticky - the software remembers what you did so you don’t have to redo this process.

1. Right-click anywhere over the item list area of the window (the area where the items are actually listed) and select Filter List.
   
2. Choose a Filter from the list provided. The Inventory Display will change to show just those items with the Status selected. The filter selected remains in effect until you change it or quit the program. When you quit the program the filter returns to All, which is the default filter.

1. Select the appropriate filter as described above.
2. Select Task > Print > Print Inventory Display, or right-click anywhere over the item list area of the window (the area where the items are actually listed) and select Print.
