1.   On the Categories page, click Add.  

2.   Enter the code and description

3.   Change the attributes and coverage type as needed.

4.   Adjust the material, equipment, and labor factors.

5.   Click Save

Import multiple categories

Download the category import template

1.   On the home page, click Import Custom Categories

2.   Click Download Template

3.   If the file does not open automatically, open the .csv file from your download folder.

Enter your categories

Now that you have downloaded your category template, you need to enter your category codes and descriptions. 

Some things to keep in mind:

       The category code must be 3 characters long (letters or numbers).

       The description cannot be more than 50 characters.

       If your price list is available in more than one language, the columns for the all the codes come before the columns for the descriptions. Be careful as you are adding your translations. 

Import your template

1.   Click Import Custom Categories
