A quick how-to:
Begin by entering some job related info, then view over 1000 included items that are categorized in sections. To the left of each item is a “+”. Tapping this button increases the quantity of that item on your order. As you tap, the “+” button displays your desired quantity. Item quantity can be reduced by tapping the “-” button located just to the right of the item. Continue through as many or as few categories as needed, then you are ready to preview the order. Of course only the items you selected will be visible in the email and you can refer back to the order to edit anytime, especially after the producer sees the price. Reduce the order by 1 – 18k Fresnel, and send it again. For the first time, you can be on the scout, in the van, tapping your way to a short day because you submitted your order to the rental-house before you even arrived back to the production office.
