Set up project questions and answer choices

Project Setup Questions collect job details before an estimator chooses costbook items. Configure them in the web app under Project Setup Questions. The iPhone/iPad app presents them while creating an estimate. Questions do not change prices by themselves: connect their answers to Project Setup Rules, Pricing Rules, or a costbook selector.
