HIGHLIGHTS
• Views: Views in Yellow Dog Inventory provide unique perspectives on your inventory items, helping you find the right information and make informed decisions.

Note: Without a specific store selected, the system displays combined on-hand quantities for all stores in the database. |
• Vendor or Manufacturer: Narrows down items by a specific vendor or manufacturer.
• Levels: Filters items belonging to specific level(s). Hold Ctrl and click to select multiple levels.
• Search: Type your search criteria for immediate results. The search box supports “and/or” searches to include multiple terms. Use a pipe ( | ) to look up exact matches.

• Hide Parent Items – Displays only child items. If an item doesn't have a child item, the parent item displays instead.
