Cost Display Settings

Learn how to control the way costs are displayed

Costs can be calculated and displayed in several different ways depending on the selected cost display settings. Cost totals are displayed in the cost summary in the navigation bar, the dashboard charts, the Item list, the Milestone page, and reports.

Markups Display Settings

Costs can be displayed in Join in three different ways. To switch between these display modes, click the Settings icon and then click the Markups Display drop-down in the navigation bar to select the desired setting.

• Markups allocated - Markups are included in all cost summaries and allocated pro-rata into estimate costs. Only markups with the box checked in the Allocate column of estimate tables will be allocated. All others will be shown separated.
• Markups separated - Markups are included in all cost summaries but are not allocated and are displayed separately from direct costs. This ignores whether the box is checked in the Allocate column of an estimate table.
• Direct costs only - Markups are excluded from all cost summaries, and only the direct costs are displayed.

Show/Hide Costs Setting

Clicking the Show Costs toggle in the navigation bar in Join will display costs or completely remove them from view. Disabling this setting will remove all costs from being displayed, which can be useful for collaborating without costs or when presenting to a group where cost information may be sensitive or irrelevant to the discussion.

Project Administrators can control which cost display settings are available in the navigation bar for other users based on their role. For more information, learn about Roles and Permissions here.
