Adding filters would be the best way to show your data the way you want it to appear, i.e. only records of a specific ActivityType. No challenges are mentioned but the current way the system is setup does not support multiple resources per calendar, so if you change one of your calendars to show a different resource (ActivityType) ...

I've never done this type of customization before so I would have to test it out.  Is the picture related to something?  Say for instance, you had 200 different work orders.  Would you like to add 200 different pictures?  Or would you just have 10 or so that you would use depending on the customer or technician? - Adam

How do I go about creating a report that totals all of our estimates including company name, products or item and the total in dollars.

I have to create an estimate with 3 services. weekly maintenance (recurring), Spring clean-up (waiting list) and Lawn treatment program (6 steps). If I put all this in the same estimate, how would I change them to work orders when the customer approves the work? Will I have to create 3 different estimates? How should I approach this?

If I want fields from the work order table to show in the service item table. How do I do that?
