Help Inventory & stock Filter and sort the grid
Filter and sort the grid
Cut a few hundred rows down to the dozen you actually meant, then act on those.
Click a column header to sort. Click the filter on Sale, Brand or Size to tick the values you want.
Clear filters undoes all of it at once, which matters more than it sounds: a filter you forgot is a bulk action on the wrong rows.
The tick-box filters
Status, brand and size are tick-box lists rather than free text, because you are almost never looking for a brand you can spell but for one of the eight brands you actually stock.
The list shows every value present in your inventory, so it doubles as an answer to "what have I got".
Sorting
Every column sorts. The ones worth reaching for:
| Column | What sorting by it tells you |
|---|---|
| Listed | Oldest first is your dead stock. This is the boost list before you open Boost. |
| Views | Low views on an old listing is a visibility problem. High views and no sale is a price problem. |
| Margin | Needs costs recorded. Sorted low, it shows what you are barely making anything on. |
| Favs | Lots of favourites and no sale usually means the price is close but not close enough. |
Filters decide what a bulk action touches
This is the part worth being careful about. Selecting rows and pressing Reprice or Delete acts on what you selected, and what you selected came out of the filter you set.
Flogit confirms before anything destructive and tells you how many rows it is about to touch. Read that number: it is the cheapest check there is against a filter you forgot you left on.
Clear filters exists because filters persist while you work. The count in the toolbar always shows how many rows are selected out of how many are in the grid, and if those two numbers surprise you, something is filtered.
