Adding Comments to Estimates

I want to put comments in estimate line items!

Starting with Goldenseal estimating software version 2.3, there is an optional field that shows text comments for each line item in any breakdown table that uses an Items breakdown.

To add it to your Estimates layouts, follow these steps:

1. Choose Custom Layouts from the Options menu, and choose Transactions from the submenu.
2. Enter Estimates into the Transaction field at upper left.
3. Enter Items into the Layout field at upper left.
4. Click anywhere on the breakdown table.
5. Choose Add Column To Table from the Edit menu.
6. You'll see a list of unused table columns. Scroll down to Comments.
7. Click OK.
8. Goldenseal will add a column on the far right side of the table.
9. To move the column to a different location, hold down the Command key (Macintosh) or Control key (Windows), click on the column and drag it to the left.
