System Lists

System Lists is a single administration page organized into five tabs. Each tab groups related lookup lists that control dropdown values, codes, and reference data used throughout Inventory Pro.

Access: System → System Lists Page title: System Lists

Three System menu shortcuts deep-link directly into specific tabs:

ShortcutOpens
System ListsTab 1 - Items & Inventory (default)
Shipping ListsTab 2 - Shipping & Purchasing
Definitions ListsTab 3 - Financial & Accounting

Each tab shows tiles. Each tile represents one list. Click Open [List Name] on a tile to open that list’s edit surface.

Tiles are hidden when the current user lacks the required permission for that list’s underlying table. Tabs with no accessible tiles are also hidden. Security is enforced at the tile level - users only see the lists they have access to.
