Service items
Add the work around the products
Not every line in an interior project is a chair, lamp or side table. Service items let you add design services, fees and other non-product lines to the same project, so the specification reflects the full piece of work.
Use them for the parts that usually end up in side notes, separate spreadsheets or one more email thread. Cleaner for you, clearer for the client.
Keep services with the specification
Add design work, sourcing fees or other service lines alongside the furniture and products in your project.
Show the full project picture
Service items help a specification cover the work around the products, not just the products themselves.
Avoid the extra admin trail
Keep non-product lines in thesheet instead of splitting them across notes, spreadsheets and follow-up emails.
It really is such a convenient way for putting together projects. And with the PDF export I can always have the proper documentation.

Good questions
Answers to common questions about getting started and using thesheet day to day.
What are service items in thesheet?
Service items are non-product line items you can add to a project. They’re useful for design services, fees and other work that belongs in the specification but is not a furniture or product item.
Can I add design fees with service items?
Yes. You can use service items for design fees and similar project lines, so they sit with the rest of the specification instead of living in a separate spreadsheet or note.
Do service items replace products?
No. Service items are for the work around the products. Products still cover the furniture, lighting, accessories and other specified items in your project.
Will service items help clients understand the scope?
Yes. They help show more of the project in one place, especially when the specification includes services as well as products.
Do I need to create a product for a service item?
No. Service items are meant for non-product lines, so you can add services or fees without treating them like furniture or product records.
