# How to view an estimate by room, supplier and order priority

Source: https://archiboard.design/help/how-to/estimate-views

One estimate is needed in different views: for the client, for purchasing and for counting money. ArchiBoard lets you switch view modes, grouping and filters so you can quickly get the information you need.

1. **Choose the view mode.** Use the «Estimate view mode» switch. Choose «Specification» to see what is needed and how much, without internal financial data. Choose «Economics» to see purchase prices, markup and profit.
2. **Preliminary or approved estimate.** To see all proposed items, choose «Preliminary». To see only the items already approved by the client, choose «Approved».
3. **Group the items.** Choose «By room» to see the estimate split by room with a total for each. Choose «By category» to group items by type, also with totals.
4. **View by order priority.** To see items sorted by when they need to be ordered, use «By order priority».
5. **Filter by status and supplier.** Use «Filter by status» to see items with a particular status. To see all items from one supplier — for example, to put together an order — use the «By supplier» filter.
6. **Choose the columns.** Turn column groups on or off with the checkboxes: Description, Finances, Delivery, Payment. This lets you tailor the estimate to the task at hand.

- Items without a room (for example, after an import) are collected in the «No room» block. You can move them to the right rooms by hand.
- The estimate header and toolbar stay in place when you scroll, which makes long estimates easier to navigate.
