coreSTORE - Getting Started: How to add items to the Button Grid
The Button Grid is something on the Sales and PO & Receiving screen that works as quick-buttons to add inventory items to the sale. You can add items to the grid two ways: by assigning the category to the grid, and by tagging individual items.
Grid Example
Here is an example of what the grid looks like. This example is demonstrating the grid by Category. Each button you see here is a separate category. You can click on each category to see each item inside that category to quickly add it to the sale.
Click on Tags
Switch between the Category grid to the Tag grid in the top right corner.
Example of grid by Tags
Here you can see each tag that have been setup in your store. You can click on each tag to see the items which have been assigned to that tag to quickly add them to the Sales/PO & Receiving screen.
How to add categories to the grid

Find the category you want to add to the grid and make sure this option is UNchecked.
There is an additional grid setting found by editing the Category

If the tag does already exist, it will show up as a selectable option which you will need to click (2).
