Summarising Line Items at a Price Table Section Heading (Hide Line Items)

Summarising a section hides the individual line items beneath a section heading and displays only the section total in the price table. This produces a more compact, at-a-glance pricing layout while preserving the section's total amount.

Hiding line items creates a cleaner, less cluttered quote or proposal that helps recipients focus on section totals and overall pricing. It’s especially useful for executive summaries, bundled services, or very long itemised lists where detailed rows would overwhelm the document.

When a section is summarised, the section heading and the section total remain visible in the price table view. The detailed line items beneath that heading are not shown in the condensed view.

Yes. Summarising affects only the visible presentation — the hidden line items remain part of the section total and continue to contribute to document-level totals and any calculations.

Summarising is applied at the section-heading level, so you can hide line items for specific sections while leaving other sections fully expanded in the same price table.

Use a summarised section when you want a concise, high-level view (for executive summaries, bundled pricing, or long lists). Show full details when clients need an item-by-item breakdown for transparency, procurement review, or technical verification.

Yes. Because summarising is controlled per section heading, you can hide the line items on some sections while keeping other sections expanded and fully itemised.
