The estimate and proposal crux fills in for you, and how to use your own estimate spreadsheet.
Settings > Templates shows the estimate and the proposal crux fills in for you.
- Estimate: The crux default estimate template, or your own (it then says Your own template (…), or the crux default).
- Proposal and letters: the crux default letterhead, filled with your company details and logo from Company.
Use your own estimate spreadsheet
- Click Upload your own estimate template… and pick the spreadsheet your company already uses.
- The file is listed as Uploaded, not set up yet. In any chat, ask crux: "set up my estimate template".
- crux reads the spreadsheet with you: which cells are inputs, where the lines go, where the totals are. You confirm before it is used.
- When it is ready, it is listed as Set up: <name> with the date you confirmed it, and new estimates use it.
crux only fills in your template's input cells. It never rewrites your formulas.
Go back to the default
- Stop using (then Yes, stop using it) on a set-up template: new estimates use the crux default again.
- Remove (then Yes, remove) deletes an uploaded file.
Estimates you already made keep the template they were made with.
