Mass Attribute

The Mass Attribute feature allows the user to define item properties for multiple items in a single event. Using the Mass Attribute function, users may define: Discounts, Modifiers, Pricing, Print Options, and Ingredients, as well as general properties for a selected group of items.

The Mass Attribute settings window uses check boxes to denote how item settings will be applied. When two check boxes appear, the first check box, in the Use column, denotes that the function will be applied in the Mass Attribute, while the second check box denotes either the activation (checked) or deactivation (unchecked) of that setting. Both boxes must be checked in order to activate a setting. To deactivate (remove) a previously set option, check the Use check box and leave the second check box unchecked.
