Add/remove/edit estimate line items

Linarc allows you to add more line items, edit the values, and remove unwanted line items from a saved estimate at any time until it is. The finalized estimate can be locked to protect it from any accidental changes.  Once locked, you cannot make any edits. Any additions to the estimate can only be made through change orders.

To edit the saved estimate

• Ensure that you are in the Estimate screen, if not;
  • Click the app launcherand select 'Finance.'
  • Click 'Estimate' on the top and 'Estimates' on the left.

You can:

• Add a new line item
• Edit line items
• Remove unwanted items
