Create Custom Line Items

There are two methods for creating a custom line item.

Click on Edit in the menu bar and select New Cost Item.
Click on the Add a Line Item Icon in the Icon Bar. It is the sixth Icon from the right.

Upon using either method, the Edit Cost Item window will appear, but this time it will only have data that is defaulted for your estimate, such as Material, Labor, and Equipment Markups. All other fields are blank for you to fill in. The following graphic shows a truncated Edit Cost Item window when the user wishes to create a custom line item.
