Line item views

Estimate line items can include a large amount of information, such as description, quantity, units, cost rates, manufacturer information, and comments. Instead of forcing you to scroll right and left like in a spreadsheet, Sage Construction Management provides views that display only a relevant subset of fields. This makes it easier to focus on the information you need and update items more efficiently.

The following views are available:

• Total: Displays cost and price totals.
• Materials: Displays material resource fields.
• Labor: Displays labor resource fields.
• Equipment: Displays equipment resource fields.
• Sub: Displays subcontractor resource fields.
• Other: Displays other resource fields.
• Formula: Displays the equation that is used to calculate quantity.
• Assembly: Displays if an item is part of an assembly.
