You can also do Batch actions if you select more than one item by checking them in the left-most column. You can edit a row or do other functions, such as run reports and duplicate the item, by clicking the drop-down arrow. Quantity on Hand is how many of an item you have, while Reorder Point is the number of an item at which you will receive a notification that more should be ordered. Taxable simply refers to whether a sales tax will be added to the item in an invoice. Cost represents what you pay for the item to add it to your inventory. The following columns are Cost, Taxable, Quantity on Hand, and Reorder Point. If the price differs every time, then you should leave this field blank. If you have entered a sales price that you charge each time, it shows here. The text that is entered here will appear on various forms, such as invoices and receipts. This is for descriptive text of the item or service. The fourth column by default is Sales Description. Service is for services that you provide which, therefore, don't have a quantifiable element. Non-inventory is for items that you buy and/or sell but you don't need to keep track of. Inventory is for items that you buy and/or sell and that you want to keep count of. Item types include inventory, non-inventory, and service.

Most of the column headings can be clicked on to order the items by that column in either ascending or descending order. In the table, there are ten columns which are viewable by default. Those are for income account, expense account, inventory account, purchase description, and quantity on purchase order. There are several other columns that can be added that are not shown by default. The icons on the right of top-right will allow you to print, export to Excel, and change settings for the table. The blue triangle next to the search bar will allow you to set options for your search, such as the status, type, and stock level. You can also search for specific products and services by using the search bar. Clicking on either alert will filter out the product and services table so that only those items are viewable.
