How can I quickly search, filter and sort my items?

Backbar provides several tools to help you efficiently navigate and manage your inventory. With search, filter, and sort options, you can easily locate and organize your items in the desktop or mobile app.

1. Search box functionality

Above the table of your items on the Inventory items and Build orders pages and during an inventory session within Take inventory is a search box where you can search and filter the list of items. The search box not only searches by name, but also by any drink or item attributes. This is very handy for finding the subset of items that you need.

2. Filtering items by type, subtype, and status

In addition to the search box, you can use the Filters button to filter by type, subtype, status, tags or vendors. 

3. Sorting by column headers

On any of these pages you can sort your list by clicking on the column headers. For example, clicking on the Bin # column header will arrange the items based on their bin location.

4. Sorting by last count

When taking inventory there is also an option to sort by last counted. This will automatically sort your list in order by how it was counted the last time you took inventory. After you take inventory one time, this is usually the most efficient method to sort your items for taking inventory in the future.

To access the search, filter, and sort options in the mobile app follow these steps.

1. Navigate to the Items or Build orders screen.

2. Tap on the filter icon located at the top of the screen.

3. From here, you can easily search, filter, and sort your items or build orders according to your preferences.
