We sometimes have clients who ask for items to be quoted out separately instead of as an optional line on one quote. Then they are approving them all and I am putting all of them on the same dates since all the work for them is being completed at the same time. Is there any way or maybe it can be added in the future for combining them together into one calendar item? Kind of like when you have multiple things to invoice for a client it lets you select and invoice them together. I feel like it will help my calendar look a little cleaner and might be a bit easier on the crew if they can see everything at once instead of looking into 2 or 3 job scopes of work.14Views1like1CommentA Competitor Is Targeting My Clients/Area.
