What you’ll accomplish

Review estimates visually by status and open records directly from the pipeline. Britixo CRM keeps the result connected to the relevant customer, staff member and operational history where the feature supports those relationships. That connection is important for search, reporting, client portal visibility and future automation.

Follow these steps

  1. Start from Sales → Estimates → Pipeline and open the relevant record or view.
  2. Verify that the record is in the correct status and that you have permission to perform the action.
  3. Check the related customer, dates, amounts, recipients and attachments before continuing.
  4. Select the action described by “Use estimate pipeline view” and complete the displayed options.
  5. Preview client-facing content or the resulting document where Britixo CRM provides a preview.
  6. Verify the action and wait for the success message before leaving the page.
  7. Check the activity timeline, status, email queue, gateway or generated record to verify the outcome.

  • Confirm the final status, activity entry, generated document or notification before leaving the record.
