How to add a quantity, price, note and photo to an item

To add a quantity, price, note or photo, tap the item’s name on your list and fill in the fields in the item panel. On your phone, quantity and unit are visible straight away, and the note, price and photo appear when you swipe the panel up. Your changes are saved when you tap Done.

Quantity and unit

Quantity and unit are separate fields, for example “2” and “lb”. You don’t have to open the panel, though: just type them together with the name when you add the item, for example “2 lb potatoes” or “milk 1 gal”, and Listonic will recognize the quantity and unit.

In the item panel, enter a number in the Quantity field, and type a unit in the Unit field or choose one of the suggestions. On your phone, you can also change the quantity with the + and − buttons.

Price

Enter the price in the Price field in the item panel. As soon as at least one item has a price, your list shows a summary: the total cost of your shopping, split into items still to buy and items already bought.

A few things make working with prices easier:

• Prices on the list: in the list menu , choose Show prices or Hide prices. Hiding prices doesn’t remove them from your items.
• Quick price change: on your phone, tap the price next to an item to change its price and quantity without opening the whole panel.
• Price times quantity: the Multiply (price x quantity) setting is on by default, so the Total field shows the price multiplied by the quantity. On your phone, you’ll find it in Settings  in your Profile, and in the browser under Settings → Lists.

Note

Use a note for anything the name doesn’t say, for example a brand, a flavor or a substitute in case the item is out of stock. The note appears on the list under the item’s name, can have several lines and can include a link.

On your phone, swipe the item panel up and type in the Add note field. You can also choose a ready-made label: Important, Not available or Only on sale. In the browser, enter your note in the Description field.

Photo

A photo helps when you want to show exactly which product you mean, for example a particular package. On the list, it replaces the category icon.

To change or delete the photo on your phone, open the item panel and tap Change photo. Choose Take a photo or Pick from library to replace it, or Remove photo to delete it.
