      What exactly does Full-Screen Mode mean?

      • Full-Screen Mode gives you more visibility to the current Estimate pane by temporarily collapsing surrounding account navigational features and financial tools such as the ConstructionOnline™ Left Sidebar, the Company Overview Feature Tabs, the Financial Categories Menu, & the Estimate Summary dashboard. 
      • If the Estimate Sidebar—which contains integral actions for Redline™ Takeoff, Costbook Options, & Accounting Integration as well as a comprehensive Estimate Summary—is shown before Full-Screen Mode is entered on a desktop browser, it will remain displayed when in Full-Screen Mode.
        • The Estimate Sidebar will collapse by default on tablet web browsers. 
      • Both the Financial Categories & Estimate Sidebar can be hidden at any time by selecting the Hide Financial Categories and/or Hide Estimate Sidebar hyperlinked text.
