What is in Favorites?

Favorites stores items you use often:

  • Services: save production rates for maintenance services

  • Materials: save units, prices, and price margins

  • Proposals: save default text, contracts, and images


How to add materials to your favorites

  1. Tap More in the bottom-right corner

  2. Select Favorites, then tap Materials

  3. Tap the + icon in the top-right corner

  4. Choose the type of material you want to add

  5. Enter:

    • Material name

    • Price

    • Units

  6. Set a Price margin:

    • Leave it empty if your cost and selling price are the same

    • Enter a value to increase your selling price

    • At the bottom, you’ll see a preview of how the margin is applied.

7. (Optional) Add Extra material
Use this to account for waste or buffer.

  • Example: add +10% for waste

  • You can also enter a negative value (e.g., -10%) to exclude areas

💡 Note: You can adjust this later when using the material in a proposal

💡Pro-tip: you can also add a negative amount of “extra” material. For example, if you want to compost the interior of an area, or you want to avoid planted areas in a bed, you could set - 10%

8. Tap Add material to save
