Create a name for the category and a description. You are also able to set an order number. If you have specific categories you would like to see first on the quote screen you are able to set an order. If you don’t they will go in alphabetical order.

 


 


 

 

In the ‘Job Operations’ screen choose an operation and click on the little magnified glass.
