tags: chapter sort add new item help sample items add item tutorial

- Look at the sample stored items -

Tobu already comes with a few items stored in the database as examples. To see them, type in 'astronomy' in one of the four filter boxes on top and hit Enter. You can test sorting by clicking on column titles and you can filter by an additional tag if you add it to the second filter box. For instance, filtering by tag 'star' will create a listing of two items.

- Adding new items -

Let's make a simple shopping list: enter 'lentils' (without quotes) in title area and 'buy, lentils, cost:0.89'; press 'save' button on the bottom. Let's enter the second shopping list item: press 'new copy' button on the bottom row - now you can change the title to 'laptop battery' and tags to 'buy, battery, cost:50'. Press 'save' button again followed by 'new copy' button. Enter the third item with 'graphics tablet' as title and 'buy, graphics, cost:100' as tags, followed by 'save' button. Now we have a shopping list of 3 items and we can try searching for it and sorting it - let's first create the listing by entering 'buy' in one of the filter boxes on top and hitting Enter. You should see all three items listed in the listbox in upper half of the window. You can now sort these items by cost by clicking on cost column header. You can also sort them alphabetically by clicking on title column header.
