If you have a large amount of Products created in your ServiceCore account, consider using Inventory Categories.

Inventory Categories can be created under your Inventory Settings to help you tag products under a specific category.

For example, maybe you're a company that rents Portable Toilets, Luxury Restroom Trailers, and Roll-Off Dumpsters, you could create a specific categories for each type of product. 

Once you've tagged products with a "Category," you'll be able to filter your inventory list under Settings and from the "Create Rental" form to help you find the products you need more easily.

Before You Start

• You will need Manager, Admin or Owner level permission in order to add or edit inventory
• Inventory Category names must be unique.
• Inventory Categories can only be added from the ServiceCore Web App
• Once Categories are created, you can edit existing products to add their respective categories.
