Saturation

Users are frequently confused when trying to set a markup value. The current flow creates a frustrating loop: User double-clicks a markup row cell → sees "Non-Editable: Use 'Qty' and 'Rate' columns" User clicks Qty/Rate columns → sees "Non-Editable: Markup rows cannot have quantity, rate, or other cost values" The actual interaction — clicking the "%" icon — is not visually distinct enough to be discoverable on first use. Suggested improvement: Update the "%" icon's styling (e.g., a distinct color, button-like border, or hover state) to make it clearly interactive and differentiate it from non-editable fields. A tooltip on hover like "Click to set markup percentage" would also help. Impact: Reducing confusion here would lower support volume and improve the first-time experience for anyone adding markups.

Like the lines allow for notes, allow there to be a field for Phase notes.

I love how I can decide which accounts get markup and which don't. But I would like a way to also remove certain line items from markup. say if 30 our of 35 lines in an account need markup but just 5 of them don't for whatever reason. I should be able to go in and exclude those. This could also be done by utilizing tags? Then having the selection under the markup to include or not include certain tags.

Having options to conditionally filter by tags would be awesome. For example, having rules like "AND" and "IF", etc. would make the tags more powerful.

Many productions maintain multiple phases within a budget—for example a Client Budget, Internal/Hard Costs, and Actuals. While Phase Rollups can currently show variance between phases (including as a percentage), users often want a clearer margin or profit percentage derived from these comparisons. A built-in margin metric would allow users to quickly see: Estimated Margin % → Client Budget vs Internal/Hard Costs Actual Margin % → Client Budget vs Actuals This would help producers and production companies quickly evaluate profitability directly within Saturation without exporting totals to spreadsheets. Example: Client Budget: $100,000 Hard Costs: $80,000 Estimated Margin: 20% Suggested functionality: Ability to select two phases and display a Margin % calculation Surface this metric in Phase Rollups, totals, or budget summaries Label it clearly as Margin or Profit % rather than just variance Why this matters: Production teams commonly structure budgets with client-facing pricing and internal cost phases, so having a dedicated margin metric would make it much easier to track profitability throughout budgeting and reconciliation.

Ability to group items and move together including between sections.

Have the Fringes show up as single line item and retain the naming from the actual estimate? We typically avoid listing multiple fringes on jobs, we prefer this as a single line item. It also shows fringes by line item, which looks duplicative even though it's indented slightly.
