How to Set Up and Manage Your Inventory Listing/Display in ERS
Welcome to ERS! This guide walks you through the basics of setting up and managing your inventory, including categories and items.
Visibility Management
- **Sort By Button**: Sort categories either alphabetically or in a custom order you've set.
- **View Options**: Choose between a **List View** or a **Card View** for displaying your inventory.
Managing Categories
Each category includes a name and an associated image. This image will appear alongside the category name on your website.
Category Controls
- **Up/Down Arrows**: Reorder categories to control how they appear on your website.
- **Hide Icon**: Temporarily hide a category and its items from customer view. Hidden categories remain accessible for editing, deleting, or reactivating.
- **Collapse Arrow**: Collapse the category view to simplify your screen.
- **Pencil Icon**: Rename a category. For example, change "Deluxe Bounce Houses" to just "Bounce Houses" and click **Save** to update.
- **Gear Icon**: Access advanced category setup (covered in a separate video).
Adding Categories and Products
- **Add Category Button**: Create a new category.
- **Add Product Button**: Add a new item to your inventory.

To quickly add a new item:
1. Click the **Add Item** card.
