Configure Pick list

Pick list configuration is available under Menu > Settings > Pick list or by clicking Gears button on Pick list screen.

For your convenience product catalog is split into following categories and you can filter by them in Side Menu > Sort and Filter:

1. Predefined catalog – product items delivered with app or imported using standard or custom catalogs
2. Automatic picks – product items created from shopping lists, history, etc.
3. My picks – product items added manually.

Import product catalog (experimental)

1. Tap Side Menu > Sort and filter > choose Predefined Catalog. This step is required so that imported items would end up in Predefined Catalog category.
2. Tap Side Menu > Delete Presets if you would like to remove existing non-used products. Otherwise you may skip this step.
3. Tap Side Menu > Import.
4. Select a language for import.

Import custom product catalog (experimental)

If you choose to import Custom product catalog, you will be prompted to paste CSV-formatted text like the following

Aisle,Name,Details

Example:

Canned Goods,Carrots,Canned
Canned Goods,Cherries,Canned

Since you don’t want to manually input text into the box, the better way is to open a file and copy its text beforehand. For instance, the file can be transferred via USB to your SD card and then opened on the phone. Or the file can be sent to your phone as an email attachment.

One of the scenarios to import custom catalog:

1. Prepare a file with each product in a new line and formatted as Aisle,Name,Details.
2. Give your file the .txt extension which is more likely to get opened by one of the text editing apps on your phone.
3. Send the file as attachment via email and open the message with your email client on your phone.
4. Open attached file with text editing app on your phone.
5. Long-press the text and select Copy All.
6. Open Mighty Grocery and go to Pick list –> Menu –> Import –> Custom.
7. Long-press the text field (see illustration above)
8. Tap Paste.
9. Tap Save.

Full list of supported columns:

• Aisle,Name,Details,Comments,Quantity,Units,UnitPrice,TotalPrice

Units

Configurable measurement units to add/change/hide measurement units and provide desirable increase/decrease rate.

Go to Settings –> Units and adjust units to your needs.

If you need to reset Units configuration or populate units of different language, tap Reset and choose desired language.

Configure Tabs

Configurable tabs feature allows showing & hiding tabs in the Tab Bar on top of the screen. Go to Menu –> Settings –> Configure tabs. And set check against the tabs you want to be visible on top of your main screen.

By the way, long-tapping the Tab Bar will show the list of all available tabs, thus making it easy to navigate to any tab of the app.
