Once you have mapped the locations drawn on the canvas with the relevant locations and sublocations in the List view, you can add items to the locations on the canvas and start building the visual quote.
You have the option to build the visual quote:
From scratch, by adding items directly to the locations.
By extending a quote that already has items in the List view to a visual quote by adding the items from the List view to the locations.
There are 2 ways in which you can add items:
#1 From the Search bar
Here, you are building the visual quote from scratch. So, you will need to add items by searching for them in the Search bar at the top.
This experience is similar to building a quote in the List view, except that you will add items directly to the relevant locations on the canvas. The items will be seen under the relevant location in the Locations group view.
When adding the item, ensure it is in the correct location on the canvas. If you add it on the canvas and not within any location, it will be shown under "Unassigned" in the Locations group view.
When you have added an item in the required quantity, click Done in the Search bar search and add the next item.

#2 From the Group view
Here, you already have items in the List view and are extending the quote to a visual quote.
You will need to click anywhere in the location on the canvas and Cloud will show the items in that location in the panel on the left. Click the item in the panel and then "Enable click to add" and add the items in the location.
For every location, Cloud will show the number of items added to the location on the canvas and those not yet added.
In this example, 2 of the 3 items were added to the "Backyard." Notice that the side panel reads "1 out of 3 items not in the drawing."
If you want to add more items that are not in the List view, use the Search bar to find them and add them to the relevant location on the canvas. These will be seen under the relevant location in the Locations group view.
Once you have added the items, you can add text, shapes, and comments on the canvas.
