Creating and Managing Nutrient Item Links

In Nutrient Item Links, you can manage nutrient item links for menu items and ingredients. You can view a list of all menu items or ingredients, a list of only linked or unlinked items, or items where Nutrient Link Not Required is marked.

You can also filter on menu items or ingredients in a specific Menu Set. This is helpful to ensure all nutrient item links are complete for proper nutrient analysis of a menu.

This process consists of multiple steps. You can complete 1 or all of the steps.
