Estimates

Estimate layouts

If you've created an estimate with multiple task types and detail rows, you may not want to display all of this information on the estimate report for your client. Luckily, our system offers multiple options for displaying estimates through layouts.

 

Users have 5 options to choose from in the heading section LAYOUT

Steps:

1.  Navigate to JOBS > Estimates.

2.  Click on Job No. to open up an existing estimate.

3.  Select Settings from the dropdown menu, then choose General Settings.

4. A new popup screen will appear, displaying the Layout dropdown menu.
