Once your invoice has been set to pay, Select “Record Payment Made By” and “Online Banking.” Click “Record Payment.” A message box will pop up for you to enter the transaction details. Done!

Use Row Tags in Estimating Basic to Make Follow-Up Easy

Use Row Tags in Estimating Basic to easily mark and find takeoff lines that need special attention. To add a Row Tag, highlight the row and right click. Upon selecting “Add/Edit Row Tag” you can add notes. Rows with Tags have a small red marking on them. You can easily find all rows with tags by clicking on the “Row Tags” button at the bottom of the page. This will provide a list of all tags; from here you can select to drill down to the row.

Avoid Confusion With Company Specific Forms and Reports
