Goldenseal Accounting Software-- Outline View as a Future Feature

Outline Views (Future Development)

Can I compress the line items in an estimate, so I only see category totals?

To see a simple display of category totals in Goldenseal estimating software, you can either create a printed form to show it as a business form to give to a customer, or a report for your internal use. For the latter, choose Estimates from the Reports menu, and choose Category Breakdown from the submenu.

HINT-- In most reports you can use the Condense button in reports to show and hide the details for each category. Click the More Details checkbox to see it.

One of our long-range interface ideas is to have outline buttons in tables that will show and hide the line items below them. They would make it possible to better organize the line items in an estimate breakdown, and they may also be useful for job cost views, reports and in other tables.

It will be complex to program and debug this one, so we aren't rushing into it! However, if you really want this new feature, please let us know, and we will work on it faster.
