When you use the Item Manager, there are a number of other options available to you. They are found at the top left of the page and are blue. Navigate to the Item Manager to view them (Admin Panel > Manage > Items)

You should see the Item Manager on the next screen

Configure

Select the Configure option to change and adjust various options related to how the Item Manager functions. Read through each option and decide what works best for your business needs. Don't forget to press the orange Save Changes button once you are satisfied with your choices:

Collections

The next option is Collections. Collections differ from Categories in that they are used to further differentiate between types of items. Previously, we used collections to separate the models of mobile phones to make it easier to manage them. A Collection could be used here for "Brand new" and "Used." The categories are still used to order the items but now we can add further organisation by identifying some of the apple phones as "Brand New" and "Used"
Manipulating Collections is very similar to manipulating Categories from the previous section. Press the Collections button in the Item Manager. You will be taken to the Collections Manager:

Add a new Super Collection. In this example, we will add Mobile Phones to the text field and then press the orange Add Super Collection button:

Then we can add the new Collections (Brand new and Used) to the Super Collection we just added:

We can see the new Collections housed under our new Super Collection in the hierarchy:

Now your items can be added to this Collection if you decide to use them

Tickets

You can generate Tickets using the system and then manage them as you would any other type of item. They are delivered directly to your customer via the hyperlink on the confirmation page and the confirmation email that the customer receives on purchase. They inlcude a QR barcode that can be verified "on the door" by scanning the QR code using any QR code scanner:

Creating tickets does take a little knowledge of HTML

Import

You can use the Import section to import bulk item data into your Item Manager

There are three different import methods:
- Normal Import = Use to add new items to your item manager by formatting as indicated
- Delete = This will import itesm you add in the correct format and then delete/replace any items that have the same Item Code as items already in your Item Manager
- Update = Update items that already exist in your Item Manager. Use in combination with the Export function to get an easily editable list of items that can then quickly update said items.
Delimited simply refers to the character used that tells the system that this block of text | is different from this one. You can use wither '|' or ',' to delimit
The format for you imported data is important to get right otherwise the import will fail. This list (Accepted Fields) details the accepted field names that you can use
The Import Data text field at the bottom explains and shows how to format your import data. Ensure the first line details the Accepted Field names that you are using and then simply input the rest of the data as needed
Be aware that you cannot import more than 30 items at a time
When you are ready, press the orange Import button in the bottom right. The system will import the data and create the items as instucted

Export

You can use the Export function to export your item data. This is useful when you need to make bulk changes for example or wish to backup your data for redundancy purposes.

To export the item data, simply choose the category you would like to export from the drop down menu and then press the orange Export button:

You can use the Reset Order option to return the items to their original order

Shared Modifiers

Modifiers are used when you have an item that can be personalised or modified. For example, you may have a white mug that has an option to have a personalised message printed on it. For this you would use modifiers. Modifiers can normally be added as an attribute to individual items. However, using this screen you can define sets of modifiers which can be used by multiple items:
