Room Summary

Boxes gathered for a room summary

Step back and check the whole move.

Review the total count and volume, then scan each room for missing or unexpected entries. Return to the relevant Room Sheet to correct the details.

Once the inventory is reviewed, check Supplies and select inventory volume separately on Quick Estimates and Truck Capacity.

After walking through the home, take a step back and review the whole move. Room Summary gathers counts and volume from the individual Room Sheets so you can spot missing rooms, unusual totals, and entries worth checking.

This is a review sheet. Correct the underlying entries on the relevant Room Sheet rather than trying to replace the summary totals.

Check room totals

  1. Review the whole-move count and volume at the top.
  2. Compare rooms. If one looks empty or unexpectedly large, return to that Room Sheet and check quantities and custom volumes.
  3. Use Supplies for materials and individual Room Sheets for notes and handling details.
  4. Select inventory volume on Quick Estimates or Truck Capacity when you want those sheets to use it. Their source selections are separate.

Read the whole move, then each room

Start with Number Of Items Added and Total Volume CuFt at the top. CuFt means cubic feet: the volume represented by the recorded inventory, not the floor area of the home.

Then scan each room’s Number Of Items and Volume CuFt. A room with zero entries might be intentionally excluded or might not have been inventoried yet. A large total could be correct, but it deserves a look if you did not expect it.

For example, if the kitchen appears empty after you entered its furniture, return to Kitchen and check that the quantities were actually recorded. If a custom item makes a room unexpectedly large, verify that its field contains cubic-foot volume rather than an item count or dimensions in inches.

Ask better questions

If a garage has more volume than a living room, check its inventory. That does not prove it needs more labor or contains more fragile items. Volume and count do not describe every handling condition.

This is a compact totals review. It does not show all room notes, materials, or crew instructions. Use the detailed inventory to communicate those details.

Make a quick completeness check

  • Have you reviewed every room that contains items being moved, including closets, outdoor areas, and storage?
  • Are completed boxes recorded, with their contents removed from the remaining loose-content entries where appropriate?
  • Is each item recorded once, rather than as both a named article and a custom item?
  • Have the room notes and numeric handling counts been reviewed on the individual Room Sheets?

The summary can reveal a gap, but it cannot tell you whether an unrecorded room is empty. Compare the sheet with the actual move.

Put the reviewed inventory to work

Open Supplies for materials. On Quick Estimates, choose Inventory Total Volume CuFt under Estimate Basis to use inventory volume in the estimate. On Truck Capacity, choose Inventory under Total Volume Source separately.

Adding inventory does not make those choices automatically. Check the selected source and results, then save your work.
