Overview
You can save line items from your estimate directly into your catalogue for future use. There are two ways to do this: a quick method that adds the item without organizing it, and an organized method that lets you file the item into a specific catalogue category as you go.
Before You Begin
- Have the line item you want to save already added to your estimate.
Option 1: Quick Save to Catalogue
- On the line item, click the six-dot button (six buttons) and select Add to Catalogue.
- Alternatively, click the square beside the line item and select Add to Catalogue.
This saves the line item directly into your catalogue, but it will not be organized into a category.
Option 2: Save to Catalogue with a Category
- Click the cube icon on the line item to open Production.
- Near the bottom of the panel, click the drop-down menu that asks where you want this item saved in your catalogue.
- Choose the category you want this item saved under (for example, Baseboard), or create a new catalogue category.
- Click Add to Catalogue.
Tips & Best Practices
- Organize as You Go: Saving items into specific categories makes your catalogue much easier to search later.
Why This Matters
- Saving line items to your catalogue lets you reuse them in future estimates without rebuilding them from scratch.
- Organizing items into categories as you save them keeps your catalogue easy to search and maintain over time.
Summary
You can save a line item to your catalogue quickly using the six-dot button or the square beside the item, or organize it into a specific category by opening Production from the item's cube icon, selecting a category from the drop-down menu, and clicking Add to Catalogue.
