# Add a New Inclusion/Exclusion

Inclusions and exclusions help make your estimates, contracts, and project proposals clear and accurate by stating exactly what is covered before a job begins. They prevent misunderstandings, protect your team from unexpected work, and ensure clients understand the full scope of the project. By setting these items up in the system, you can standardize your process, save time on every estimate, and automatically apply the right information when needed.

To create new inclusions and exclusions:

1. Navigate to **Settings > Other > Inclusions and Exclusions** from the left menu.<br>

2\. Click on +**New Inclusion/Exclusion.**\
3\. Complete the following fields:<br>

* **Type**: Select either **Inclusion** or **Exclusion**.
* **Name:** Enter the name of the inclusion or exclusion.
* **Details:** Provide additional details if needed.
* **Add by Default:** Toggle this option if you want the inclusion or exclusion to be automatically added to every estimate.

{% hint style="info" %}
This inclusion or exclusion will be added to every estimate if enabled.
{% endhint %}

4. &#x20;Click **Save** to complete the process.

Setting up your inclusions and exclusions this way keeps your estimates consistent, transparent, and easy to manage across every project.
