Item groups

An item group allows you to define certain information once and automatically apply it to the items attached to it. Attaching an item to a group is optional: an item without a group retains all of its editable fields directly in the article record.

Fields defined by the group #

The fields below are defined by the group and cannot be modified in the file of a linked item. To modify them, you must go through the group: the change will apply to all items linked to it.

Create or edit an item group #

Note: it is not possible to modify the Type or Inventory management type of a group if items are linked to it.

2. Click Create item group in the top right, or click the desired group in the list to edit it.
3. Enter or modify the requested information. See the Fields defined by the group section for details on each field.
