Additional Tips
- Items, Modifiers, and Modifier Set lists filter by department so the user can sort lists to simplify the editing process.
- Department filters may be adjusted without deselecting menu items (number of selected items displayed on "Bulk Edit" button) to allow editing items/modifiers in different departments at the same time.
- Navigating to various LBM tabs will not reset the selection.
- The search box works the same way as a filter, so the user's selection will not reset if searching multiple criteria one at a time.
