📋 Manage Items

The Manage Items tool opens a full-page view of your product list, ideal for batch edits, category filtering, or price updates. It provides a spreadsheet-style editor that allows quick modifications across multiple products at once.

🧰 When to Use This

• Updating prices for many products after supplier changes
• Filtering by category to check all antibiotics or lab reagents
• Editing alert levels across multiple consumables

📃 What You Can Edit

Depending on permissions, you can modify:

• Cost Price
• Selling Price
• Alert Quantity
• Unit / Subunit details
• Category
• Status (active/inactive)

🎯 Features

• Search by name, tag, category
• Filter by active/inactive items
• Multi-column sort (e.g., by price or stock)
• Inline editing and auto-save
• Mass delete or deactivate actions (admin only)

🧠 Best Practices

• Always filter by category before making mass changes
• Use export before large edits to have a backup
• Be cautious with delete — prefer setting items as inactive for safety
• Regularly review outdated or duplicate entries using sorting tools

🔒 Permissions & Restrictions

• Only admins and designated inventory officers can delete or bulk-edit items
• Other roles may have read-only or limited edit rights (e.g., price only)
• All changes are logged in item timelines for auditability
