The configurable Price Catalog allows users to build different categories of work and work tasks within those categories. These different types of work tasks are used to build an estimate of work for a client. View and manage your Price Catalog by navigating to the Admin panel and clicking the Price Catalog option.
There are 3 Catalog Category Types that use different Rate attributes to determine the price of a work item. Within any of the Category Types, a user can create multiple work categories and work items.
- Hourly Rate
- Tasks are priced based on an Hourly Rate
- Variable Rate
- DBH - Tasks are priced based on a Tree’s DBH
- Height - Tasks are priced based on a Tree’s Height
- Flat Rate
- Tasks are based on a Flat Rate price
