RELEASE NOTES
Introduction
This document describes the new features and enhancements in version 8.7.50X of Cotality Estimate for iOS. This is a focused, iOS-only release, so it's shipping to the United Kingdom on its own schedule; every other market receives these same updates in the following Release 8.8.

Estimate for iOS Updates
Inline editing
You can now edit several fields directly in the line-item table on the Estimate, Estimate Preview pages and when adding batch pages without opening a separate dialog. This brings the inline editing already available in Estimate (PC) over to iOS on both iPad and iPhone.
WHICH FIELDS
Depending on what's visible for an item, you can edit:
- Action (when shown as its own column, via Table Settings → Display → Show item action as separate column)
- Coverage
- Subcoverage
- Quantity
- Minimum charge
A field you can edit shows an underline beneath its value, even when you're not actively editing it. If you don't have permission to edit the estimate, or the estimate is locked or owned by someone else, the underline doesn't appear and the field stays read-only.

EDITING A FIELD
Tap an underlined field to bring up the keyboard. List fields, like Action or Coverage, show a small purple chevron instead, which brings up the selection list when tapped.

EDITING ACROSS MULTIPLE SELECTED ITEMS
On the Estimate and Estimate Preview pages, select several items and tap an editable field, such as Quantity, and every selected row's cell in that column highlights along with the one you tapped. Finish the edit and it applies to all of them at once, and the rows stay selected afterwards. Tapping an editable field in a row that isn't selected clears the previous selection and selects that row instead.

ADDING ITEMS: ASSEMBLY, ITEM BATCH, VOICE TO ESTIMATE, AND SELECT ITEM
Quantity is now editable directly while you're adding items to an estimate using Assemblies, Item Batches and Voice to Estimate.


Drag to select multiple photos
This release improves and simplifies the process of multi-select for photos. In addition to tapping individual photos, you can now press and drag your finger across thumbnails to select a run of them. This is possible across rows, and whilst the gallery auto-scrolls.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE
- Press and drag across photo thumbnails in selection mode to select them all in one gesture instead of tapping each one.
- Selected photos show a clear selected state as soon as the drag reaches them, and it stays visible while you scroll.
- If you drag back over photos you've just selected, still without lifting your finger, they're deselected again, so you can correct course mid-gesture.

Manual photo reordering
This release adds the ability to reorder photos within a folder.
HOW IT WORKS
Select the photo or photos you want to move, then long-press one of them to pick it up. Picking a photo up lifts and enlarges it slightly, with a light vibration to confirm it's ready to move.
Drag it to where you want it. The other photos shift to make room as you go, and letting go drops it into place.
This works for one photo or a selected group at once, and stays smooth even in a folder with hundreds of photos: the grid scrolls for you automatically as you drag near the top or bottom of the screen.



ONE THING TO KNOW
Manual reordering only works when the folder's photo sort is set to "None." If a predefined sort like Area or Damage is applied, the reorder gesture isn't available until you switch back. Your manual order isn't lost when you apply a different sort, it comes back as soon as you switch back to "None."
The new order syncs to Claims Workspace, Estimate, and Capture. Reordering itself is iOS-only for now; Capture doesn't get its own drag-to-reorder yet.
