The Ingredient Form is the point in the program where all ingredient creation, modification and deletion takes place. It is divided into two major sections. To the left of the window is the browser pane. To the right are six tabbed sub-forms (or pages). Each sub-form lets you view or edit a different aspect of an individual ingredient's properties.
Browser Pane
The browser pane displays the names of all ingredients currently selected for display. Select an ingredient in the browser to display that ingredient's details in the tabbed sub-forms (or pages) on the right.
