On the inventory page, you will see the following default fields:

Images: Images of the item. Shows up when previewing the item on a customer's order, as well as on the customer's receipt if you have enabled the receipt setting for it.

Once you begin creating inventory items, you will start to see the table of your inventory start to populate. This is also where you can edit, delete, or view the order history of the item.

Inventory Item Varieties

Inventory items support the concept of varieties. This is simply a way to designate multiple sizes, quantities, and prices on an inventory item. Each inventory item must have at least one variety, but it can have as many as you want. This concept is useful in several situations:

Your vendor might have a different price for certain sizes, in which case you can add these sizes as additional varieties. When you create an order using one of these sizes, it will pull up the correct price.
You may have certain sizes in stock but not others, so you can add these sizes as varieties of the inventory item.
