4.1.2.1 Add item menu

All fields marked with * are mandatory fields. This means that they must be filled in for the item menu to be saved successfully. 

With Add further item menus can be created. Subsequently, individual or several menus can be filtered out with the help of the search function, e.g. by entering the name of the item menu and starting the search.

  2. Click Add.

  3. Open the Overview submenu.

4. Create a name for an item menu.

Mandatory fields are marked with a * and must always be filled in so that the entry can be saved successfully.

5. Optionally create a number as sorting for the item menu list.

The item menus in the list are sorted according to this number. Each number can only be assigned once. The number is not assigned more than once, because only one item menu can be on one position. All item menus without sorting are added to the end of the list.

Thus, in this case, the image of the apple is shown and below it the description Corn Apple.
