The Review Item Costs tab on the Estimating Summary dialog lists all the items in a job, and includes a toggle that lets you display only the items that have no (zero) item cost values assigned. Use this dialog to review all item costs in a job, and to quickly find items that do not have item cost values specified. You can also modify item cost information, such as item cost, M-Rate, Price List cost, and discount values, on a drawn item. Users that have Edit Database privileges can also modify certain costing information in the database.

The following options are available on this tab:
Print: Creates a printable report of the information that is currently displayed in the list view on this tab.
Properties: Displays the Modify Costs of Item(s) dialog which lets you edit and or lock\unlock the item cost values for the items displayed in this list.
Only show items with no Costs: When this option is selected, only items that have no cost data specified are displayed in the list view on this tab. Therefore, if you select this option, and no items display in this list view (if the list view is blank or empty), this indicates that all items in the currently selected job do have cost data specified, and that there are no items that do not have cost data specified. If you select this option, and items are displayed in the list that have no cost data specified, you may want to specify cost data for each item that does not have cost data specified. When this option is not selected, items that have no cost data specified are included in the list view display, along with items that do have cost data specified.
Collate Items: When this option is not selected, each instance of an item displays in this table with a quantity of 1. When the Collate Items option is selected, multiple items of the same size and type are collated (combined) into a single row, showing a quantity of greater than 1. The Item Numbers for the multiple items are displayed in the Item No column. Hover the mouse cursor over the values displaying in the Item No. field to display all of the item numbers.
