How can I suppress location headers to remove totals within a proposal in Design Manager?
In Design Manager, managing proposal settings often includes customizations such as handling location headers and their associated totals. This article explains how to suppress location headers to remove the corresponding totals, whether these changes can be made at the project or company level, and provides step-by-step instructions.
Overview of Location Totals and Headers
Each location (or room) in a proposal typically generates a subtotal line summarizing costs for that specific location. These subtotals are tied to the existence of location headers, which categorize the items by location. If you wish to remove these subtotal lines, the associated location headers must also be suppressed. Keep in mind that suppressing location headers automatically removes their corresponding location subtotals.
Step-by-Step Guide to Suppress Location Headers and Remove Totals
To suppress location headers and remove the associated totals within a project proposal, follow these steps:
Open the Advanced Settings for the specific project.
Navigate to the Proposal tab.
Locate the option to Suppress location headers and check this option.
Re-generate the proposal by editing and saving it to apply the changes.
After completing these steps, location headers and their associated subtotals will no longer appear in the proposal.
Important Reminders
Suppressing location headers is a project-specific adjustment and does not affect other projects.
Once suppressed, both the headers and their associated subtotals are removed; these cannot be separated.
Ensure you review the updated proposal to confirm the changes are applied as expected.
