      ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

      • Different Estimate Types (3-level vs. 2-level) and sheet types (e.g. Category sheet) will have different actions available within the Toolbar. For example, on the Project Totals sheet for a 3-level estimate, there is no option to "Insert Item". This action is only available for a Category sheet. 
      • The Estimating Toolbar can also be show/hidden within Opportunity Estimates and Estimate Templates. 
      • If the Estimating Toolbar is hidden within a certain Estimate, the Toolbar will be hidden for ALL other Estimates within a Company User's account. The Toolbar will remain hidden until the Company User decides to show the Toolbar again. 
      • The Estimating Toolbar is user-specific—each Company User can control if the Estimating Toolbar is shown or hidden for Estimates within their account. 
      • Permissions: Company Users must have Estimating Permissions set as "Can Create, Edit, & Delete" to show/hide the Estimating Toolbar. 
      • The Estimating Toolbar is exclusively available via browser access to ConstructionOnline. Estimates are presented in View-Only Mode on the ConstructionOnline Mobile App.
