Change the display of estimates
The Estimates page has options for changing the display of data in the grid.
Select to switch how tasks are displayed. They can be shown as rows or columns.
Select an Input option to enter estimates in tasks as hours/units/cost or equivalent heads/units/cost. If an amount has a currency symbol in either format, then the rate type of the resource is set to Cost in your proposal's direct rate table.
Select Direct Cost to view estimates as direct cost totals. In this format, your grid is read-only. New direct cost totals cannot be entered, and existing ones cannot be edited.
Select Total Price to view estimates with indirect costs included. Displaying estimates in this format also makes the grid read-only.
Group by Custom Task Field is only available when tasks are shown as rows. Select an option to categorize tasks based on a custom task field. The groups that appear in the grid depend on which custom task field value is entered for each task. To expand or collapse a group of tasks, click the arrow next to the group name.
Select a View Filter option to only see a specific type of estimates.
