The IDs panel is a data grid with a list of IDs assigned to the draft menu item. The data grid columns contain the values for the selected IDs.

The IDs panel data grid is composed of the following columns:

  • Menu item indicates the name of the draft menu item. This value corresponds to the draft menu item name in the Properties panel.

    It is used to identify the draft menu item that the ID is associated with.

  • Number of portions is the number of portions of the draft menu item that the ID represents.

  • Quantity denotes the quantity of the draft menu item that the ID represents.

  • Unit (menu) designates the unit of measurement used to keep records of the draft menu item.

  • Code is an ID code or mask.

  • Type denotes the ID type.

  • Mask is an attribute to indicate whether the ID code is a mask.

  • Comment is a short comment.

If the draft menu item was created on the basis of other items, the IDs panel will have the additional field Inherit IDs, which will show whether inherited IDs have been applied. Please choose between No and Yes.
