What is the use of Auto-update Toggle for the Ref app field?

Updated on March 9, 2020 03:50AM by Admin

Estimates App from Apptivo helps you to create Estimates with the automated approval process. In addition, it allows you to Enable/Disable the Auto Update Toggle for the Ref app Field.

Consider estimates that have been created a month ago for a particular item, and there is a price change for that item now. For this scenario, the Ref app field helps us to understand the price change for the item and the auto-update toggle helps to control the price change in the old estimate calculation after the price update in the Items app.

  • Login and access the Estimates App from the Universal Menu.
  • Select an existing estimate from the List.

  • Here the Estimate is created for an item with the Auto-Update Toggle on.

  • Now, change the price for an item in the Items App.

  • You can view the price updated on the existing Estimate in the Ref App field.
