EstiMate 2011 Feature Of The Day: Quick Access To Templates

This is a very simple feature but one of my absolute favorites: your templates are now attached to the “add items” menu on the Job and Estimate screens!

Click the image at right to enlarge it and see what I mean.  Now, when you create any templates inside your pricing plugins, they will be attached to the “Add Items” menu and you can have one click access to them to add the template to your quote.

When you click the template item, it fires up the plugin so you can make any adjustments and then hit “OK” to add it.

Now that all plugins are included with the EstiMate 2011 pricing plans, there is also a “manage plugins” screen that allows you to show and hide any plugins you don’t want shown, so a unique use for this feature might be to create templates for everything you want your employees to be able to price, and then hide all the plugins – thereby keeping your product list to a key set of items.
