Create and order catalogue sections

Sections are the groups the till shows down the side: Pizza, Drinks, Dessert.

1. Open the catalogue's sections

Open Shop → Product catalogs and choose the catalogue from the tabs. Each
catalogue has its own name, and the standard one is tagged Standard.

The sections of a catalogue

Each section lists the items in it, with + Add item, Edit and Delete.

2. Add a section

  1. Click + Add section at the foot of the list.
  2. Type the section name at the top, where it says New section. A Description
    is optional.
  3. Click Save.

You go back to the catalogue and the new section is in the list. An image can be
added once the section is saved: open it with Edit and click Upload image.

3. Put items in the section

Click + Add item on the section. The Assign items dialog lists the items On
this section
and Everything else. Search, switch on each item you want (it is
added straight away), then click Done. An item can be in more than one section.

The item has to exist first. To create one, see Add a product. You can also set the
sections from the item itself, under Section assignments.

4. Put sections and items in order

The till shows sections, and the items in each section, in the order you set here.

  1. Hold the drag handle (the dotted grip at the left of a section or item) and drag it
    to its new place. Sections move among sections; items move within their section.
  2. Let go. The new order shows straight away and is saved; there is no Save to
    click.

On a keyboard, tab to the handle, press space, move with the arrow keys, then press
space again to drop it.

Sections belong to one catalogue

Sections belong to a catalogue, so the same item can sit in different sections in
each. Check which catalogue tab you are on before adding.
