A feature, which you may like to take note, is the Item Duplication function. This is ideal if you have numerous items with similar Sub Fields. E.g. Childrens shirts. Mens shirts, Ladies shirts each with the same Sub Fields, S-Small, M-Medium, L-Large, XL-Extra Large sizes.

Modifying All Item Prices at once
This is new to version 4. This allows you to change all the item prices by a user defined factor.
There are many uses for this:

Click on the 'Modify All Item Prices At Once' button.
On the Factor field enter the amount of increase or decrease.
If you want to have a 10% discount, you would enter 0.95.
