This article covers the columns and options for Service type products in the Measure Desktop product list.

Description
Color Swatch (optional)
Drop-down box in which a color may be selected to represent the product on the drawing and in printed reports. Colors must be unique for each product and cannot be shared by any other product.

 Note: If the swatch is left black and the product does not have at least one color line under it with a non-black swatch, it will not be available to assign directly to a room through the Product Selector.

Link
Non-interactive icon used to indicate how a product was added to Measure. A Product_List_Page_Icon.png icon means the product was created manually in Measure. A Product_List_Cloud_Icon.png icon means the product was imported from a user's RFMS Cloud database or RFMS Store.
Style Name
Text field in which the product's name is entered. If a product is imported from the RFMS Cloud or a user's RFMS Store this field will be filled automatically. The Style Name is used as a label for the product within the software and on printed plans and reports.
Style Number (optional)
Text field in which a style number may be entered. If a product is imported from the RFMS Cloud or a user's RFMS Store and it has a style number attached to it, this field will be filled automatically. Style Numbers are not displayed in standard plans and reports, though they can be included when printing custom forms.
Vendor (optional)
Button that opens a list of vendors saved within the current project. This feature may be used to flag a product as being sourced from a particular vendor. Vendor data is not displayed in standard plans and reports, though it can be included when printing custom forms.

 Note: As with all Product List settings, the Vendor list is only saved within the current project unless the Save as Default feature is invoked.

Extra Waste
User Waste (optional)
Text field in which extra waste may be added to a product. The number entered in this field will add waste on top of whatever natural waste factor Measure calculates. When applied to a roll product, extra waste is displayed on-screen and (optionally) in printed reports as a shaded area at the end of the product's final roll.
Type (optional)
Drop-down box where the calculation method for extra waste may be specified. The default setting is "%".
%: Additional waste will be generated by adding the number entered in the User Waste field as a percentage of the product's Unboxed Quantity (Unboxed Quantity = net area + natural waste factor).
units: Additional waste will be generated by adding a fixed amount of material based on the product's unit of sale and the number specified in the User Waste field.
Estimating
Unit
Drop-down box in which the product's unit of sale is specified. In order for tiles to be calculated accurately, they should utilize a square unit of measure.
Cost/Price (optional)
Text field in which a cost or price per unit may be entered.

 Note: Projects with a Business Type set to "Commercial" will have a Cost column whereas those set to "Retail" will show Price instead.

Level (optional)
Drop-down box in which an imported product's price level may be selected.
Products sourced from an RFMS store will be imported into Measure along with all available price levels. These levels can then be adjusted as needed by clicking the drop-down box and selecting one from the list. When a new price level is selected, the software connects to the RFMS store again to import the current price.
If a product created in the RFMS Cloud is to be imported with a price level, the level must be selected during the import process. Only the selected level will be imported with the product.

 Note: If an organization has RFMS Mobile and a user within that organization enters a custom price for a product, the Level field will automatically adjust to reflect that. Projects with a Business Type set to Commercial will display "Special PO Cost". Projects set to Retail will display "Write-in".

Taxable (optional)
Check-box that controls whether the Tax Rate (entered as a Project Setting) is applied to a product.
Hidden (optional)
Check-box used to flag a product as "hidden". Hidden products will be visible in the on-screen drawing, as well as on Room, Seam, and Cut plans. They will not, however, be shown on the Worksheet or in custom Forms. As such, any product flagged as "hidden" will not factor into the project's grand total.
Add-on Only (optional)
Check-box that, if enabled, indicates the product will only be used as an Add-on. A product flagged as "Add-on only" will not be available for direct assignment to a room through the product selector, even if it has a non-black color swatch.
Default Calculation Method
Button used to specify a calculation method that will be assigned to the product automatically when it is used as an add-on. Only products flagged as "Add-on only" can have a default calculation method.
Export
PC (RFMS users only)
Text field in which an RFMS product code may be entered. This field will be populated automatically for products imported from RFMS. To successfully export a Measure project to RFMS, Bidpro, etc., a valid product code must be present for each product. Organizations that do not utilize the RFMS core business software or do not export projects from Measure to RFMS can ignore this field.
