We have space to add twenty (20) items to a list. If you need more lines, then click the button.

Using Tags

We also know you usually buy the same items over and over again. To handle this, we allow you to tag single or multiple items. Once you have created tags we auto-fill the tag name as you begin to type, making field entry easy. Or you can check the tags you desire and they will be placed on your list. Once a tag is on your list you can also toggle between My Tag (M) or Public Tag (P) in the Item Options column.

As the tag list can be large, there is also a Search option. Enter the tag name you wish to find. Then press the tab for My Tags, Public Tags or Item Type to search each category.

Go to tags, to learn more about creating and managing tags.

Type Field

The Type field is a special tag field. It is used to categorize product types such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, etc. If you want to filter your products to select only those from a specific category, then enter or select the Type you desire.

Favorites

You can also add items to Quick List via your Favorites. Click on the Favorites icon to access your favorites list. If an item is added via your Favorites, you will see an (F) displayed in the Item Options column.

Remove Item

You can remove an item by clicking on the Remove Item icon in the Item Options column.
