The Products tab enables you to determine what Quantify calls specific interface items. You can also determine which characters to eliminate from the beginning of a barcode scan. Finally, you can determine whether Quantify displays Products when you click a location then click the Products tab by enabling/disabling automatic refresh of the Product Grid, which overrides the setting in the My Options dialog. This helps save SQL Server resources for installations that have thousands of concurrent end-users.

Names for Items that are No Longer Usable Section
Quantify's Out of Service feature enables you to place out of service any items that aren’t returned, returned damaged or damaged beyond repair. Out of service items are moved to an Out of Service queue until repaired and placed back into service and/or optionally billed back to the Job Site. Use the properties in this section to change the Out of Service feature default names and labels that Quantify uses to whatever labels work best for your company.
| Out of Service | Use this text field to determine the label for Out of Service interface elements in the Quantify interface (for example, the Out of Service node under a Branch Office). |
| Damaged (repairable) | Use this text field to determine the label for interface elements that describe Products that are damaged and repairable. |
| Damaged (not repairable) | Use this text field to determine the label for interface elements that describe products that are damaged and not repairable. |
| Lost or Missing | Use this text field to determine the label for interface elements that describe products that are lost or missing. |
| Default to Billable | When this checkbox is checked and a user moves one or more items to Out of Service, Quantify marks the item(s) as billable and charges the customer for the costs in the next invoice. |
