Display Quick List and/or Display Detail/Add Record and/or Display Picklist Window or none of them.
Cut, Copy, Paste
Insert Row, Cut Row, Clear All Rows
Show/Hide Columns....Opens the Grid View window with which you can select or clear checkboxes to show or hide all the existing columns.

Autofit All Columns
Find....Opens the Search Takeoff window with which you can search for terms in the current grid, or in the entire takeoff, including multiple grids, as well as the displayed bid item and phase.
Enter Key Moves Right

Important!

There are two different ways to work with columns on the Takeoff Details tab grid using the mouse right-click. The program displays various commands depending on which column you have selected and right-clicked or which column cell you have right-clicked.
To save selected columns permanently, from the menu bar, select Grid Views > Add New View or Edit Current View.
