Product Add-Ons

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.


How To:

Create Product Add-Ons

1.  Open the Product List.

2.  Click the Product_Add-Ons_Button.png icon next to the primary flooring product the Add-On should be attached to.

Tip: You can tell if a product already has Add-Ons linked to it because the Add-On icon will be appear as Product_Add-Ons_Button_filled.png instead of Product_Add-Ons_Button.png

4.  Left-click a product or service to select it and click OK.

Tip: Hold down the Ctrl key and left-click to select multiple items. Doing so allows you to attach more than one Add-On at a time.
