ShoppingList Help

Needed and All Views

By default, ShoppingList starts with all the items displayed. In this view, items with check marks are those you need during your next trip to the store. Selecting "File->View Needed" limits the view to those items you've marked as needed, with a clear checkbox next to each. Checking this box lets ShoppingList know you have the item, so it's removed from the list and marked as not needed.

Categories

Categories let you organize the items in your shopping list. I create categories based on the type of item -- produce, meat, canned goods, etc. -- but you can also use the aisle numbers of your favorite store. The "Category" menu allows you to Add a new category, Edit the currently selected category, or select a category. Selecting "All" displays all the items.

Items

To create a new item, select "File->Add Item". To edit or delete an existing item, press the and hold the stylus over the item; the edit window will pop up after a short wait.
