Use breadcrumbs to visualise your navigational path in Simpro Premium. Breadcrumbs are displayed on all Simpro Premium pages except the dashboards. The right-most label is your current location in the system.

Click the breadcrumbs to the left to return to previous pages instead of using your browser's back button.

Most tables in Simpro Premium have a More button next to each entry. If the button is outlined in blue, click to view other data entries that are linked to this item.

For example, if the More button is on a job, you can view invoices, purchase orders and contractor work orders created for that job.

You can type a basic calculation, such as multiplying a price by a markup, into a number field as well as a static number. Number fields that can be calculated are indicated by a x+y notation in the top left corner. After you enter the calculation, click outside the field or press Enter, the calculation is then performed and the result appears in the field.

Some examples include:

  • 100+10
  • 1000/10
  • 10*10
  • 100-10
