Using Marks within Rooms Detailed Summary
In Ediphi, finishes assigned to Rooms are called Finish Keys. These Finish Keys are labeled with a Mark to abbreviate your Finish line items, allowing you to better view them within Finishes under Room Details.

What is a Mark?
A Mark starts as a 4-character abbreviated code of a finish added to the Rooms Detailed Summary tab; obtained typically from the Finish Key Description.
How are Marks used within Ediphi?
Keys that are already added through the Finish Key will show their Mark when adding them to a Room, so that you can easily differentiate them when selecting them under Finishes in the Room Details section. We usually recommend adding all the necessary Keys under Finish Key first, so that you know exactly what you’re selecting and can edit Marks as needed.
How does the platform create Marks?
The platform will always choose the first 4 letters from the Description of the finish (just letters, no spaces or special characters). For example, if you had the Concrete Sealer finish, the platform will create with a CONC Mark given those are the first 4 letters in the Description. Other examples:
- 3-Form Panels would be 3FOR
- FRP Panels would be FRPP
- Touch-up would be TOUC
Whenever you add a Finish Key to your Finishes, pay attention to the first 4 letters of the Description, and that will be your Mark. If you wish to have a custom Mark that is different from the Finish Key Description, you can double-click the Mark in question to edit it.
