Rooms & Line Items

Line item modifiers

Price for real job conditions in one click. Four modifiers (After Hours, Category 3, Heavy Cleaning and No Bagging) adjust a line's price instantly, and the room subtotal and estimate total update with it.

Last updated

Modifiers reflect job conditions that change a line item's price: work done after business hours, contaminated water that calls for higher-class handling, cleanup that's materially worse than standard, or demo where debris isn't bagged. Each modifier is a single toggle, and the price updates the moment you flip one.

You apply modifiers on the job's Estimates tab.

The four modifiers

  1. After Hours: work performed outside standard business hours
  2. Category 3: water or contamination that calls for Category 3 pricing
  3. Heavy Cleaning: cleanup scope materially worse than the standard rate covers
  4. No Bagging: debris bagging is skipped on a demo line

Ways to apply one

From the row menu. Click the ⋮ on the row, choose Modify, then pick the modifier.

From the right-click menu. Right-click the line item and open the Modify submenu. Modifiers that are applied show a checkmark. Click one to toggle it on or off.

From the keyboard. With the row selected, press M, then 1, 2, 3 or 4 to toggle the matching modifier. The numbers follow the list above. See Keyboard shortcuts.

On a phone. Tap the ⋮ on the line's card and choose Modify.

Applied modifiers show after the line's description on the estimate.

Which modifiers you'll see

Wave shows the modifiers that apply to each line.

  • When modifiers apply, the Modify entry appears in both menus and the matching keyboard shortcut is ready to use.
  • When only some apply, the menu shows all four, and the ones that aren't relevant to that line are grayed out. Hover a grayed-out one for a short explanation.

Applying and removing

Toggle a modifier on and the line, the room subtotal and the estimate total update immediately. Toggle it off and the line returns to its base price. Overhead and profit lines recalculate with the new numbers. Undo works on modifier changes too: ⌘Z (Ctrl+Z) on the estimate. See Undo and redo.

Modifiers are available while the estimate is unlocked and Wave isn't mid-update. See Lock and unlock an estimate.

Explain it on the PDF

Modifiers change the line's price on the PDF. To show the customer or adjuster why, add a line note (for example, "Emergency response, Saturday 11 PM"). Notes print under the line. See Add a note to a line item.
