How do I change the Labor Type from Standard Union to Repair and Remodel?

I already have an estimate prepared and double clicking the cell doesn't do anything...

In the header bar above your costbook information there are two drop down options for CostBook & Labor type which you can change.

Hey there!

I changed the header bar to correctly reflect the labor type to “repair and remodel” however, there are several line items that I had already selected for labor type “standard union”. It is these line items that have already been added to my estimate that I would like to change them all to “repair and remodel”.

Hope that makes sense…

Right above your costlist, you should be able to click on Estimate Action>Change Cost Data which will bring you to your estimate setup where you can change your Labor Type.
Please note that if you have a mix of Union/Open Shop you may not be able to change it. This is usually set up before starting an estimate.
