How To: Initial Caps All Stock Item Descriptions

Table Of Contents

Introduction

Khaos Control includes a utility that automatically updates stock descriptions so that they use initial capitalisation throughout the system.

This can be useful if stock descriptions have been entered using inconsistent capitalisation and you want to standardise their appearance.

Important: This function updates all stock item descriptions in Khaos Control, regardless of any stock item selection made in the grid.

Before You Start

Ensure all users are aware that stock descriptions will be updated throughout the system.
Review the changes carefully before proceeding, as the update affects all stock records.

Steps

Open a Stock screen. (Show me how)
Open the [ Stock | List ] tab.
Select any stock item in the grid to enable the bulk update options.
Right-click within the grid and select:
Update Selected Stock Items > Properties...
The Update Selected Stock Items... dialogue will open.
Click the Initial Capitalise Descriptions button.

Review the confirmation message and click OK if you are happy to continue.
Click Cancel to close the dialogue and apply the changes.

What Does This Function Do?

The utility converts stock descriptions to use initial capitalisation across the entire Khaos Control database.

For example:

Before	After
golf club set	Golf Club Set
PREMIUM DRIVER	Premium Driver
instruction leaflet	Instruction Leaflet

Important Notes

All Stock Items Are Updated

This function affects every stock item description in Khaos Control.

Any filtering or item selection performed in the Stock List grid is ignored.

System Value Setting Is Ignored

This utility does not use the setting configured in the System Values - Stock Tab Stock Description Case Option.

The capitalisation update is applied regardless of the value configured in that System Value.

Additional Information

Because this operation updates all stock descriptions, it is recommended that you review the impact on integrated systems, websites and reports before running the utility. Standardising stock description formatting can improve consistency across Khaos Control, exported data and customer-facing documentation.
