Use categories wisely
Add a select field for categories (e.g., Produce, Dairy) to group similar items. This makes long lists easier to scan.
Set sensible defaults
Set sensible defaults
If most items share a value (quantity: 1, priority: normal), set it as the default to speed up entry.
Keep primary field short

The item name should be scannable at a glance. Use notes or description fields for longer details.
