Using Inventory Monitoring Assortments
To assist users in quickly verifying a pharmacy's product placement, admins can create Inventory Monitoring assortments. An assortment is a list of Inventory Monitoring products grouped by sections and sorted to reflect product visibility priority.
Assortments allow users to view only the products relevant to each Inventory Monitoring activity by visually representing product categories in the user interface. For example, users can verify all core products are available and visible in a pharmacy.

Preview does not respect My Setup products restriction so business admin users can preview assortments with all available products.

End users can select an assortment when they create the inventory monitoring.
Available products display within the assortment section. Assortment sections are initially displayed as collapsed if the Collapse by Default? check box is selected on the IM Assortment Section.
If the All Others check box is selected when the assortment is configured, all products the user has access to are included in the Inventory Monitoring Lines as well as any assortments.
If an end user selects a different assortment on the Inventory Monitoring header, all values previously entered on the Inventory Monitoring Lines are cleared.
