Modifier categories — add, edit, import

Menu: Master Data Management → Modifiers categories

Modifier categories group your modifier options (for example “Sauces” or “Size upgrades”) so they stay organised when you attach modifiers to menu items.

Search and filters

• Filters for name, sequence number, and status work together to narrow the list.
• Typing in name or sequence waits a moment after you stop typing before the list refreshes (so the screen does not flicker on every key press).

2. If you are not signed in, you may see a message to log in again and be sent to the login page.

Import CSV format (Modifier Categories)

Download a blank template: Modifier Categories import template (CSV)

The import dialog accepts a CSV with a header row.

Column	Accepted header names	Notes
Category name	modifier_category, name, or category_name	If empty, a placeholder like Category 1 is used.
Status	status	Active, 1, or numeric 1 -> active; anything else -> inactive.
Sequence number	seq_no or sequence	Integer; defaults to row order (1, 2, 3...).
Mandatory flag	is_mandatory	1 = yes, anything else = no.
Single select flag	is_single_select	1 = yes, anything else = no.

Use UTF-8 encoding if names include special characters.

Table

• All categories appear in the main table with the columns your organisation configured (name, order, status, actions, and similar).
• Use row actions exactly as labelled on screen.

---

Permissions

• Add and import need create-level access to modifier categories.
• Edit needs update access.
• If a control is hidden or greyed out, your role does not include that action.
