== The Inventory Window ==
== The Inventory Window ==
The inventory window is made up of three panes: index (sidebar), filters (sidebar), contents.
=== Sidebar ===

The left sidebar contextually (if applicable) displays the following category "trees" in order. Nested trees are expandable if there is a foldout arrow on the left side of the list.  
The inventory window's left sidebar can be hidden or shown by clicking the left/right arrow above the top-left corner of the contents pane.

==== Index preferences ====
At the top-left of the inventory sidebar is the heading "Index", next to a 4-line preferences menu icon. The options given in this menu are:
* Always open in separate window
** By default you can create a new window pane for any container by shift-clicking. This option creates the new window pane when double-clicking.
* Keep filter value between inventories
** By default the My Filters box will reset itself when you change the container being viewed. This option makes filters persistent.
* Always show full tree
** By default nested trees are collapsed. This option begins the view fully expended.
=== Filters pane ===
Filters provide a dynamic rule-based way to control what items are shown in the contents pane. This can allow for faster and more powerful viewing options than the UI controls can normally offer.
==== Examples ====
=== Contents pane ===
Here the inventory of a hangar or cargohold will be shown, if any.
==== Toolbar ====
Above the contents pane are several icons and readouts. From left to right: Volume, quick-filter, next/previous, views.
Inventory and Assets can be viewed in three ways: Icons, List, and Details.
* Icons is a visual layout that is effective in wide windows, as the items will display from left to right, top to bottom. If you recognise items primarily by their icon, this can be a quick way to glance at your holdings. Icons also have visual cue badges for fitting slots, tech level, and item types.
* List is a compact table layout that includes a small icon and several descriptive category columns.
* Details is a very compact table layout with no icon, except for a small badge that indicates tech levels of 2 and above.
The volume meter shows the current cubic meter (m^3) value of the inventory, and also the maximum volume if the current view is a container. The bar fills to visually represent this percentage, and has two shades to represent a drag-and-drop movement that has not been completed.
The next/previous buttons function just like forward/back in a web browser, and keep a limited history of the containers viewed.


=== Views ===
Quick-filter offers an alphanumeric matching function based on the inventory contents.

Two categories are hidden by default: Meta Level, and Category. Right click on the column headings in order to Show these columns if desired, then you can also sort by them.
