Inventory > Customising inventory > Creating custom lists
You can create three custom lists that you can use to sort and group your inventory items.
An example of a custom list is ‘Colour,’ in which you could create list entries of ‘yellow,’ ‘red,’ ‘green’ and ‘blue.’ When you create or edit an item, you can assign it one of these colours. When you run an inventory report, such as the Analyse Inventory Summary report, you can choose to include only red items in the report.
