Estimates and Groups
When scoping a project, users organize their estimates in many different ways, such as: organizing by room, trade, location, etc.
XactRemodel is designed to allow users to organize their estimates in whatever way makes sense to them. This is done by adding new 'Groups', and associating items with those groups.
On Web
After a project has been created, navigate to the Estimate tab within the navigation bar on the left-hand side of the screen. Select the '+ Add Group' button to create a new group.
In the New Group window, users can enter a Group Name and a Description.
- Group Name: The Group Name is required to create the new group. This is the name of the group that will show up as the group heading on the report. All items added to the group will roll up under this group name on the report.
- Description: This is an optional field that allows the user to provide details or additional context around what might be included in this group. The description will show up on the Proposal report underneath the Group Name.
The user can add as many groups to the project as needed. Groups can also be deleted from a project as desired.
A summary of the estimate can be seen on the Summary tab of the project, or the user can view a report from the Reports menu within the project.
