Estimating Suggestions
Hey team! I’ve got a couple of estimating suggestions that would be awesome to see, and I’d love to post them here to see if they pique anyone else’s interest! :smile::sparkles:

  1. Material Creation: When creating a new material via the online portal, it would be fantastic if we could assign a material cost and link or create any related recipes for accessories and labour.

  2. Export All Function: It would be super helpful to have an export all function that can be controlled by tag or levels and layers. Currently we can only export all materils but it would be great if it let us export all materials, recipes, and labour as one CSV for easy editing. I know we can do this as a JSON file now, but let’s be honest, JSON isn’t the easiest to edit for everyone! Controlling exports by tag or L&L would really streamline things, especially when scrolling through thousands of variations to paint colours.

That sums up my thoughts! I’d love to hear what everyone thinks, especially Grant and Andrew! :thinking::thought_balloon:

Hi Dperrem,

@Andrew & I are talking about this as I’m writing this.

I like the idea but there’s a bit of work in it. We’ll add it to our list of suggestions.

This part will be difficult to do due to the different columns & data needed for each option. We’ll look into it & see what could be done but I can’t guarantee anything.

Hi Dan, yes, these are great suggestions that will save exporting multiple.
