There is a glitch happening in Xactimate right now where the line item you enter places itself somewhere in the middle of the list of line items.
I don’t know about you, but I need to write my Xactimate estimates in a certain order, so this just does not fly in my world.
Also, it seems that dragging and dropping the items in the list doesn’t work as smoothly as it used to.
This week’s Tech Tip is all about no-stress line item entering.

Thank you for the tip!!
You can also utilize the insert key on your keyboard as well to save a little more click time. Select the line item where you want the new line item to be and hit the insert key. You can also select the very last line item and push the insert key and it will scoot all of the line items up which will make your next line item at the bottom. It also does the same thing for F9 notes when using headers.
Hi Alena:
Thanks for another great tip!
Here’s another option for those who like shortcuts. After you highlight the line below where you want to insert the new line, just key Ctrl-Insert and the line will propogate. This saves having to use the Right click menu.
Happy Nerding!
