3. ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2024-03-32-51-7681-PM.png?width=688&height=301&name=image-png-May-02-2024-03-32-51-7681-PM.png)
4. To edit the **Product Category description**, click the **Edit** button to the right of the category row. **Type or paste** the product description into the **Description** box and click the **Save** button.![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2024-03-34-45-0154-PM.png?width=688&height=302&name=image-png-May-02-2024-03-34-45-0154-PM.png)

   ![](https://support.blaze.me/hubfs/undefined-Oct-25-2023-09-08-15-3099-PM.png) 
     1. To edit the **Low Inventory Threshold** of a product category, click the **Edit** button to the right of the category row. Enter the desired low inventory number in the **Low Inventory Threshold** box and click the **Save** button.The **Low Inventory Threshold** allows you to control when a product will be removed from the store, based on remaining product inventory. When the **Low Inventory Threshold** is set to a specific number for that category, the products within the category will disappear from the store when the inventory hits the indicated number. ***For example**, if the category for flower is set to 5, then once one of the products in the flower category hits 5 remaining units, then that specific product will be removed from the menu. If set to **zero**, the product will disappear from the store after the last product is sold.*
6. ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2024-03-35-28-3671-PM.png?width=688&height=307&name=image-png-May-02-2024-03-35-28-3671-PM.png)

Click the **Save** button to update the category’s status.![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2024-03-36-06-5977-PM.png?width=688&height=306&name=image-png-May-02-2024-03-36-06-5977-PM.png) 
     1. This feature can be useful for testing new product categories, or keeping products in the Point of Sale stored for later use.
     2. **Note: If utilizing the Subcategories (Greenline POS only), the subcategory Active/Inactive setting must match the Parent Category.**
8. To manage the **product category ordering** in the store, edit the numbers located in the **position column**.  ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2024-03-36-42-0751-PM.png?width=688&height=301&name=image-png-May-02-2024-03-36-42-0751-PM.png)
9. A product category with a position number of “1” will display first, with “2”, “3” and so on, following it in that order. The ordering will **automatically save** once the numbers have been edited.![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-02-2024-03-36-48-8560-PM.png?width=688&height=301&name=image-png-May-02-2024-03-36-48-8560-PM.png)
