XactScope options

Updated by Heather Jones

The following buttons and keyboard shortcuts are available if you have XactScope enabled. XactScope works differently from traditional sketches and line items; instead of adding line items, users answer questions about the estimate, and Xactimate creates the line items based on the situation. See XactScope for more information.
