This tab deals with the categorization and description of the individual component parts of the job.
You can switch from part to part by pressing the relevant buttons on the toolbar:
Part status: The status of individual components of the job can be changed by progressing the
job ( on the Header tab)
Part category: Each component can be categorized for analysis purposes - e.g. text sections,
covers etc. This is useful when analyzing your work. Part categories can be set up in System
configuration.
Description: In addition to the descriptive text on the Header tab, you can also enter text for each
individual component part under the same headings as for the Header tab. The difference here
is that these descriptions are for internal use only. They can appear on your job sheets but will
not appear on estimates and invoices etc.
For a more general note on text entry and the button,
see the article on Text Entry.
The header tab of a Quick Quote template is actually a component tab and the Description will be
component text. This is so that when you create a new Quick Quote job, or add a part to a job
using a Quick Quote template, the description of that component is there for you.
