Master Data Management

Open the sidebar section Master Data Management to work on menu structure, sellable items, modifiers, and tags. Expand the section, then choose a screen. You only see entries your administrator allowed.

In this help site, the list below follows a recommended working order. Overview is this page; detailed guides are linked below.

Recommended setup order

  1. Overview — you are here.
  2. Categories — menu sections, types, images, import, reorder.
  3. Product attributes — create reusable attributes and values first.
  4. Modifiers categories — group modifiers for easier assignment.
  5. Modifiers — individual modifier lines, inventory flags, import, order.
  6. Item Library — older full product list (create, edit, view, copy, assign attributes, bulk actions, import).
  7. Items — newer item list with location overrides where enabled.
  8. Items-v2 variants — manage variants inside the Items-v2 item flow.
  9. Item tags — tag categories and tags for items.

Categories

Organise the menu into categories (for example “Mains” or “Drinks”). Add, edit, view, reorder, import, and set active or inactive as described in the Categories guide.


Item Library (legacy)

Older product list some teams still use. Newer work may use Items instead. Full steps for filters, table, create, edit, view, copy, assign attributes, bulk active/inactive, bulk edit, bulk clone, reorder, and import are in the Item Library guide.


Items (new)

Main place for menu items with names, prices, images, categories, and often per-store overrides. See the Items guide.


Variants

Variants are managed inside Items-v2 (item create/edit flow), not on a separate variants screen.


Product attributes

Create and maintain attributes and their values for use on products (choices, rules, labels—depends on your setup). See the Product attributes guide.


Modifiers categories

Group modifiers (for example “Toppings”) before you attach them to items. See the Modifiers categories guide.


Modifiers

Create and maintain each modifier line, track inventory where needed, import, and change order. See the Modifiers guide.


Item tags

Manage tag categories and tags for organising items. This is separate from Tags under Settings—check the screen title if you are unsure which screen you need. See the Item tags guide.


General tips

  • Use Save, Update, or Submit when the page offers it before leaving.
  • If a control is disabled, you may lack permission or a required field may be empty.
  • Long lists: use search and pagination at the top or bottom of the table.
