Ever since the 'new' version of the inventory function has been introduced
it has made updating and adding items far more difficult as follows:

1) When clicking 'price' next to an inventory item the default is to
show the detailed price guide instead of the really useful pop-up showing the
current avg. price, which can then be dismissed so I can update accordingly without
losing my place in the inventory list I have displayed.

2) If I forget to select the 'old' version of the inventory list and
I am say on the 2nd page of the list of items and I click on 'price'
I get the longer 'price guide' version but when I navigate back to the
inventory list it takes me back to the beginning of the list (i.e. the first
page), I then have to scroll all the way down or change pages to get back to
where I was adding as lot of time to the process.

3) The new and old version of the inventory list show different items (the 'new'
version shows less), which is annoying when trying to use the 'old' version
in order to bypass the problems set out above.

Either let users default to the 'old' version for all searches and or
fix the problem 2) above and preferably put the 'pop up' in as the default
'price guid' when clicking on 'price' as that is the most efficient.

I have raised these issues before but nothing seems to be done about them, surely
if new functionality is introduced it should be at least as good as the old version,
it isn't even possible to default the 'old' version which I have
to click on every time I change my search otherwise my productivity when adding
items is massively impacted.

Any suggestions as it's causing me significant problems.

Thanks

Cheers

Agreed!

For what it's worth, you can have the pop-up again if you change your settings.
However, it only works on the New or the Old, not both at the same time.

If only we had some computer programmers to change the settings to work properly
on the new pages. Oh, wait...

Thanks for your reply, are you saying you can set the default to show 'old
version' somewhere as I can only get the 'pop up' if I click on 'old
version' every single time I do a new search on my inventory.

You can't choose to use the old version by default.

What you can do is change your settings to get the pop-up on the new version.
But, you will no longer get the pop-up on the old version.

Hope that makes sense. Hope they fix this mess soon. Hope they even reply someday
that they realize that there is even a problem to fix.

Thanks Jennifer

I've just found where to change the setting to show the 'pop up'
no the 'new' inventory screen which works fine, it takes some finding
as isn't where you think it might be nor explained well (for others reading
this the setting is 'Store Settings' 'Management' then inventory
section and untick 'enable price guide link' who would have thought it
!! Thanks very much for your advice.
