The app marks jobs, lines, orders and products with small pills. Here is every one, what it tells you, and why it is there.
On My Jobs and in the Bill of Materials and Quote job lists.
The scan has finished. The Bill of Materials and the quote are a click away.
Green means you can work on it now.
Extracting: the scan is running and the job page shows its two stages. Pending: queued to start.
Amber means wait. The page updates on its own; you can leave and come back.
The pack check wants a decision before anything runs: a sheet looks missing, or a file is not what its name said.
Nothing is charged until you confirm, so you are never billed for a pack you did not mean to send.
The scan could not complete.
Nothing is charged and no scan is used. Add what was missing and run it again.
A job scanned from drawings.
It has a Bill of Materials and a quote.
A quote built by hand, with no drawings.
It has a quote only; there is no take-off to show.
On every line of the Bill of Materials and the quote.
Taken from the drawings or the calculations, with the reference shown beside it.
You can check the line against the sheet it came from.
A standard builder item added by rule rather than drawn: padstones under a beam, a damp-proof course, wall ties.
The drawings assume them, and a quote without them is short.
The scan thinks something may be missing, or is unsure of a quantity.
It wants your eye before the quote goes out.
You changed the line: its quantity, its rate or its product.
The lasting mark of what is yours rather than the scan's.
Several drawn items priced as one line, for example the concrete across three footings.
One line to buy, with the count of what went into it.
A line that could not be priced from the catalogue. In Edit you set the price and reword the description.
It prints flagged on the quote, so nothing looks more certain than it is.
A labour line you added to a section, at your rate.
Kept apart from materials, so the job total shows the split.
A plant line you added to a section, such as a digger or a skip.
Kept apart from materials, so the job total shows the split.
On the Orders list and at the top of each order.
An order being built. Lines can still be added, changed or removed.
Nothing has been placed yet.
Placed with the merchant. The order is locked, and each line's price joins your own price history.
This is the commitment, and it is what the Order Book counts.
Delivered.
The job's buying for this order is done.
Withdrawn. The number stays on the list, struck through, and is never reused.
The record is kept honest; nothing disappears.
The colour of each product row on a job's Order Book.
The whole quoted quantity is on ordered or closed orders.
Green means nothing is left to buy for this product.
Some of the quoted quantity is on order; the balance column shows what is left.
Amber is the list of what still has to be ordered.
Nothing has been ordered against this product yet.
The quote has it; the buying has not begun.
More has been ordered than the quote asked for, with the extra shown.
A check against double ordering.
The small label at the top of a product card says what the picture is.
The measured photograph of the product's family.
What will arrive, as the maker shows it.
A steel or timber section drawn to its true proportions from the catalogue dimensions.
The shape you will be fixing, at the right ratio.
Bricks and tiles drawn from the maker's published colours and texture.
A guide to the look, not a sample; order a sample before you commit.
The written specification, with no picture yet.
Everything needed to buy it is still on the card.
A module on the way, such as Reporting.
Listed so you know what is coming; nothing to press yet.
