Managing Lists of Values (LOVs)

  • Customize dropdown options for orders, products, and forms throughout BakeOnyx
  • Add, edit, reorder, and remove values in 25+ categories like cake sizes, flavors, and delivery methods
  • Keep your bakery's unique offerings and terminology consistent across the platform

What Are Lists of Values?

Lists of Values (LOVs) are the dropdown menus you see throughout BakeOnyx. They let you define the exact options available when you're creating orders, configuring products, or filling out inquiry forms. Instead of being stuck with generic choices, you can customize them to match your bakery's specific offerings and terminology.

For example, you might have LOVs for cake sizes ("6-inch," "8-inch," "10-inch"), flavors ("Chocolate Fudge," "Vanilla Bean," "Red Velvet"), delivery methods ("Local Pickup," "Same-Day Delivery"), and much more.

Accessing the LOV Settings

  1. Log into your BakeOnyx dashboard.
  2. Click Settings in the left navigation menu.
  3. Select Lists of Values (or LOVs).

You'll see a page with all available LOV categories organized by type.

Adding a New Value to an LOV

  1. Find the category you want to customize (for example, Cake Sizes).
  2. Click on that category to expand it or open its detail view.
  3. Click the Add Value or + button.
  4. Enter the new value in the text field (for example, "12-inch").
  5. Click Save or Confirm.
Tip: Keep your value names clear and consistent. Use the same capitalization and spelling every time so your team sees uniform options across all forms.

Editing an Existing Value

  1. Open the LOV category you want to modify.
  2. Click on the value you'd like to edit.
  3. Update the text in the field.
  4. Click Save.

Reordering Values

The order of your LOV values matters—they'll appear in dropdown menus in the same sequence you set them. To reorder:

  1. Open the LOV category.
  2. Look for drag handles (usually small arrows or dots) next to each value.
  3. Click and drag a value up or down to change its position.
  4. Click Save to confirm the new order.
Note: Consider ordering your most popular options first. This makes them easier to find and speeds up order entry for your team.

Removing a Value

  1. Open the LOV category.
  2. Find the value you want to remove.
  3. Click the delete icon (usually a trash can or X button) next to that value.
  4. Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Warning: Be careful when removing values that are already in use on existing orders or products. Check with your team first to make sure no active orders depend on that value.

LOV Categories Available

BakeOnyx includes 25+ customizable LOV categories, including:

  • Cake sizes, shapes, and flavors
  • Fillings, coverings, and colors
  • Event types and occasions

Where LOVs Are Used

This means when you update an LOV, the change is reflected everywhere in your account immediately.
