Master Mgmt - Plans
Plans & Elevations represent the "products" that will be built by the builder. The key fields for Plans & Elevations are the Plan Number, Plan Name, Elevation and Square Feet (Sq. Ft.). On most pages the plan number and plan name are combined and separated from the elevation by a dash. Some pages and drown down lists (because of space limitations) display the plan number and elevation separated by a dash. Options, takeoff items, drawings, budgets, and bids are tied to Plans & Elevations.
