Categories

When you select the Categories option on the main Inventory page, InnDesk will display the current list of item categories in a table on the right side of the page, as shown in the figure below. This table includes the category's name and description. The list is sorted by the Name field.

You can search for any item by typing a partial name or description in the search box provided and then clicking the Search button. InnDesk will display only those items whose name or description contains the text you entered in the search box.

Add a Category
