How many lists can I create?
There is no limit to the number of lists you may create. That being said, you may want to visit “Editing Shopping Lists” to learn how to utilize the categorization feature within a list to help keep your items organized.
How many items can I have on a list?
While we do not set a limit on the number of items you can add to a single list, we do caution that you may experience slowness as the shopping list gets quite long. For that reason, we recommend that your lists contain 200 item lines or fewer.
- You may create a new list from this page, but you may also create lists as you are searching our product catalog or searching your item history. See the tutorial on Adding Items to a Shopping List for more information on creating lists as well.
- Search for your list by list name, creator, Item SKU and more if there are multiple pages with lists on your account.
- Use this feature to upload lists. Review the Format Guide along with downloading the Sample Order File to be able to easily upload a file to create a new list.
- See the lists for your account with some additional information. Click on a list name to access that particular list.
- Once creating a list, you may edit the list allowing a user to edit the name of the list, create categories, etc. See the Editing Shopping Lists tutorial for more information.
- Export your list into excel to get a list of all items on your list.
- Copy a list to make another version, most popular with Locked for Edit since Locked for Edit Shopping Lists are not able to be edited unless done by the Sales Rep who created the list. Make a copy and edit the newly copied list.

4. Locked for Edit
In your shopping list, you will know if one of your shopping lists is “Locked for Edit” because it is denoted with a green check mark under a column of the same name. Select this shopping list if you would like to create a copy of it to keep and edit as your own.
You will notice another message here at the top reminding you that you do not have access to edit this shopping list. Click the “Copy List” button to continue.
You can enter any name for this list that you wish. Once you have renamed the list, click “Save and Close”.
The “BASICS-COPY” that was created has been added to the list of shopping lists. You’ll see that it does not have the check mark in the Locked for Edit column. This shopping list will be yours to edit as you see fit.
