How To Change Category For An Item
In Bolster, categorizing assemblies and line items is crucial for keeping your project data tidy and reporting accurate.
1. Open the Item

2. Click on the Item Box
• Click directly on the item box to open the Advanced Item Options.

3. Scroll down to the Production section at the bottom of the options.

4. In the Production section, you will see a field for Category.

5. Here, you can either:
• Select an Existing Category: Choose a category from the list if one is already available.

This will make it easier to locate them for future estimates or proposals.

6. Alternative Method to Access Item Option:
Use the Six Dots Button
• Click on the six dots (located beside the item) to open a menu.

7. From the menu, select Advanced Item Options. This will take you to the same location as in Step 3: the Productionsection at the bottom.
