This feature allows auxiliary products and services to be tied to a main flooring product. When the main product is used, the auxiliary items are calculated based on user-defined rules and then added to the takeoff.
This type of Add-On should be used when an auxiliary item is always going to be allocated along with a specific material. Although multiple Add-Ons may be linked to a main product, it is not possible to "nest" them within each other. Example: a certain carpet could have both pad and labor charges linked to it, but neither the pad nor the labor charge could themselves have Add-Ons assigned.
