Please start here if you are setting up your inventory for the first time.


The SimpleClinic inventory should contain ALL the items you wish to sell through SimpleClinic.  This will include both services and supplement items.  For you to invoice something there must be an item associated with it.


Before adding any items, you do have access to preloaded information from popular suppliers, read more about this here. This will save you having to add items manually, and they are automatically kept up to date. 


You can access your inventory by clicking Inventory from the SimpleClinic menu, which will then show the Inventory submenu. Click on the Items option. This will provide the following main inventory page.


This screen has the following main sections.  


1. The add button - allows you to add new items

2. Search bar – allows you to search and filter the inventory items.  The inventory listing can be filtered based on category and manufacturer.  You can also search for an item by typing in the search box and clicking the Go! button. 

3. Status - shows Active or Inactive items - use the eye icon next to each item to make it active or inactive (hidden). 

4. View - the blue button will allow you to view and edit a product. You cannot edit or delete the preloaded products such as Metagenics, you can only toggle the visibility of these products to hidden using the eye icon.
