Select a position for the product. Lower numbers appear in the list first. The higher the number, the lower down on the list. We recommend you set the position using multiples of 10, e.g. '10', '20', '30', etc. That way you can slot new products in between and control the order of the list more easily in future.\n4.  To add more products, select **Save and New**. Then repeat from step 2.\n5.  When you are finished, select **Save**. \n\n### Update products on your quicklist\n\nYou can remove and add items to your Quicklist whenever you need to.\n\n1.

Add new products by following the **Add products to your quicklist** procedure above.\n\n### Add the quicklist to your outlet\n\n1.  In your main store record, select an outlet from the **Store Outlets** list on the right.\n2.  Under the **Details** section, you'll see a field called **Quicklist Product Category**.\n\n    ![Image](https://res.cloudinary.com/hzkr6fi81/image/upload/v1728461354/knowledge/pos/quicklist-7_rongtq.png)\n\n3.  Click the pencil icon to edit.\n4.  Search for your new quicklist and select it.\n5.
