Ink Categories will be displayed in the top window (Categories), and as each category is highlighted, the system will list the individual inks defined for that category in the bottom window (Items).  

 

The user will note the field Quantity on Hand at the bottom of the screen. As one would expect, this field will display the inventory On Hand Quantity for an item highlighted in the bottom window.
