Can we add a column on our invoices/estimates to allow us to combine column contents into one line item? (Ex: One line using columns for labor and materials.) Thanks!

Adding a column to combine the contents into one line item on your invoices or estimates isn’t possible, strong. However, you can group them to put multiple items together as a workaround.

Here’s how:

Navigate to the Lists menu and select Item List.
Click the dropdown arrow next to Item and then choose New.
In the Type dropdown, select Group.
Enter a name in the Group Name/Name field.
Add the desired items in the Item column.
Hit OK.

Once you’ve created the Group item, you can use it in your invoices or estimates. Select the Group item to display the bundled items and fill out the necessary details. For reference, please check the attached screenshot below.
