The "Estimate Listing" feature within the commerce module serves as a central point for managing and accessing estimates for products or services that your business offers to customers. This feature provides a user-friendly interface to view, search, filter, and organize estimates efficiently.
Here's how this feature can be used:
-
Number of Rows to Show: Users can choose how many estimates they want to display on a single page. The available options are provided in a dropdown list, allowing users to select between 25, 50, 100, or even display all estimates on a single page.
-
Search and Filter Options: To streamline the process of finding specific estimates, users can utilize the search and filter functionalities. This enables them to input keywords or specific criteria, such as a customer's name or a project's name, and the system will narrow down the list to display only the relevant estimates.
-
Estimate Grid Columns: The columns in the estimate grid provide essential information about each estimate. Here's how each column can be used:
-
Estimate #: This column displays a unique identifier for each estimate, making it easy to reference and identify specific estimates.
-
Amount: This column shows the total estimated amount for each estimate, helping users quickly gauge the financial scope of each estimate.
-
Total Tax: Displays the total tax amount associated with each estimate, aiding in tax-related calculations and tracking.
-
Customer: Indicates the customer or client associated with each estimate, facilitating easy identification of clients and their respective estimates.
-
Project: This column specifies the project name or code linked to each estimate, useful for organizing and categorizing estimates by project.
-
Tags: Tags are customizable labels or categories that can be assigned to estimates. This column displays tags assigned to each estimate, allowing for quick categorization and retrieval.
-
Date: Shows the date when each estimate was created, helping users track the timeline of estimates.
-
Expiry Date: If estimates have expiration dates, this column displays those dates, ensuring that users are aware of when estimates become invalid.
-
Reference #: This column provides a reference or identifier associated with the estimate, which can be useful for cross-referencing with other documents or systems.
-
Status: Indicates the current status of each estimate (e.g., open, closed, pending approval). Users can quickly identify the progress of each estimate based on its status.
-
Users can filter data on the basis of estimations’ status e.g. ALL, Not sent, Invoiced, Not Invoiced, Draft, Sent, Expired, Declined and accepted.
-
Switch to pipeline: an icon to change the listing view to pipeline view which categorize the listing as per estimate status like Draft, Sent, Expired, Declined, Accepted.
