Estimates

Viewing and signing estimates through the client portal

Portal Estimates

Clients can view all estimates shared with them and accept or sign them directly through the portal. This eliminates the need for email attachments or manual signature workflows.

Estimate List

The estimates page shows all estimates associated with the client's email, including:

ColumnDescription
Estimate NumberUnique identifier
DateWhen the estimate was created
AmountTotal estimated value
StatusCurrent status (e.g. Draft, Sent, Accepted, Declined)

Click on any estimate to view its full details.

Estimate Detail

The detail view displays the complete estimate including:

  • Line items — description, quantity, unit price, and totals for each item
  • Subtotal, tax, and total — financial summary
  • Terms and conditions — any terms attached to the estimate
  • Notes — additional notes from your team

Signing and Accepting

When an estimate is ready for approval, the client can accept it directly from the detail view:

  1. Review the estimate contents
  2. Click Accept or Sign
  3. The estimate status updates to Accepted
  4. Your team is notified that the client has approved the estimate

Once accepted, the estimate is locked and cannot be modified without creating a new version.

Declining

If the client does not agree with the estimate, they can decline it. Declined estimates remain visible in the list for reference but are marked accordingly.
