The category form

The Category Form is the point in the program where all category 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 three tabbed sub-forms (or pages). Each sub-form lets you view or edit different aspects of an individual category's properties.
Browser Pane
The browser pane displays the names of all categories in the current database. You can select a category in the browser to display that category's details in the sub-forms on the right.
Tabbed sub-forms (or pages)
The tabbed sub-forms (or pages) on the right of the Category Form provide a number of different views of the information relating to the currently selected category. The Category Form has three sub-forms.
•The General details page shows the name and category type/s (ingredient, recipe, function and/or menu) of the current category.
•The Ingredient costs page shows ingredient cost prices for all ingredients assigned to the current category.
•The References page shows all ingredients, recipes, functions and menus assigned to the current category.
