🧭 Before You Begin

✅ Available ONLY to SmartBuild customers.

❗️Customer Admins can configure this setting.

📝 This setting controls where totals come from in SalesView and what totals appear in the submitted PDF.

⚠️ Smartbuild totals are not shown inside the configurator.


⚙️ Overview

Smartbuild Show Totals allows you to choose one of two pricing sources:

✅ Option A: Use IdeaRoom

  • Totals shown in SalesView come from IdeaRoom pricing

  • PDF totals come from IdeaRoom pricing

  • No Smartbuild pricing is used

✅ Option B: Use Smartbuild

When Smartbuild is selected:

  • The PDF will show:

    • Total

    • Subtotal

    • Tax

    • Services Total

  • The Total shown in SalesView will be pulled from Smartbuild

  • Users can request the latest Smartbuild totals for a lead using Update

📝 Smartbuild totals only appear in SalesView + PDF, not in the configurator UI.

🚫 What This Feature Does NOT Do

❌ Smartbuild pricing is not shown inside the configurator
❌ No line-item breakdown from Smartbuild or IdeaRoom appears in the configurator

❌ IdeaRoom pricing will be set to hidden
❌ Only the following are populated from Smartbuild:

🧠 Common Issues & Fixes

Issue: PDF totals are blank when Smartbuild is selected

Likely Cause: Smartbuild totals were not returned for the design
Fix: Open the lead and click Request Update, then re-submit the design.


Issue: The SmartBuild totals column is not displaying in SalesView

Likely Cause: Smartbuild was selected and published, but the changes have not propogated to the SalesView page
Fix: Refresh your SalesView browser page and changes should propagate


Issue: “Request Update” doesn’t change the total

Likely Cause: Smartbuild returned the same totals or the lead isn’t linked correctly
Fix: Try again after confirming the lead/design is connected to Smartbuild.


❓ FAQs

Does Smartbuild replace all pricing inside IdeaRoom?

No. Smartbuild only controls:

  • SalesView Total

  • PDF Total, Subtotal, Tax, Services Total

IdeaRoom's Price Visibility will be set to Hidden when SmartBuild pricing totals are selected, so the configurator will not show any pricing values.


Do we show Smartbuild line items anywhere?

No. Smartbuild line items are not displayed in the configurator or SalesView totals view.


Who controls this setting?

Customer Admins control this setting in SalesView.


Can a customer switch between Smartbuild and IdeaRoom anytime?

Yes. They can update the setting in Pricing Visibility, and totals will follow that selection.


✅ Final Notes

Smartbuild Show Totals is designed to support customers who want:

  • Smartbuild-backed totals for submitted designs

  • A consistent total in SalesView tied to Smartbuild
