Detailed Summary
Old view
New view
What's new in Detailed Summary:
Ability to enter summary level Quantity and UoM values per Grouping (overline edits).
Ability to highlight a range of line items to either bulk edit or see the selected total. Additionally, you can copy the selected range of line items (or copy the whole table by holding CTRL + A to select all line items and then CTRL + C to copy) and paste them into a workbook like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. See our Keyboard Shortcuts article to learn more about different key clicks for multi-selecting.
Ability to drag and drop columns to re-order them.
Ability to configure pinned columns. You can unpin the columns by hovering over each header and selecting the ellipses to open the menu.
Ability to resize columns.
Ability to move about your headers using the arrow keys.
When you leave this view, the format will persist. For example, the groupings will be maintained and line items that are collapsed or expanded will remain the same when you re-open the view.
Ability to copy and paste cells (CTRL + C and CTRL + V) within the same column. For example, you can copy one or multiple Use Group cells and then paste them into other cells to fill them. If you copied 2 cells under a column and would like to fill 4 line items with that same data, those 2 copied cells will then paste in a loop to fill those 4 cells.

FAQ
- In the Line Items view, I am not seeing where the Use Group totals went to. Where are they located in the new view?
The Use Group totals were removed from the Line Items view. You can now filter on the right hand side by Use Group to get the totals.
- Where is the Tree View in the Line Items view?
We have removed the Tree View from Estimates and transitioned our Filtering/Columns functionality to the right of the screen for Line Items. Please see our Filtering Line Items article for more information.
- Why were the views updated?
We have introduced modern table interactions for easier use for our users. For example, getting rid of screen clutter, faster refresh speeds, and smoother and consistent scrolling. See the above sections to learn about the updates.
- I dragged and dropped a column out of view and it disappeared. How do I get it back?
You may have noticed you are able to remove columns by dragging them out of the table view and dropping them. In the Detailed Summary view, you will need to create a new view via Manage Views and then your refresh page. In the Line Items view, you will only need to refresh your page to recover the removed columns.
- I love the new Table Settings in the Schedule of Values view! Will this be coming to the other views?
Yes! Table Settings will be introduced on all other views in the future. Stay tuned!
- Will we be able to toggle on a "full screen mode" on the different views so we can hide all other aspects of the page and only focus on the table grid?
Yes! Full screen mode will be introduced to all views in the future. Stay tuned!
