Each type of room in TOTAL for Tablet PC comes pre-configured with a list of
common room amenities that you can document in your file. Since construction
tends to differ widely from one end of the country to the other, however, TOTAL
for Tablet PC provides a simple tool to adjust the default set of amenities in
each room. Depending on the type of PC you're using you can edit your room
details in up to two ways:
- Through the Room Analysis tools in TOTAL for Tablet PC's Data tab
- Through the room details in TOTAL for Tablet PC's sketcher. This option
only applies to mobile devices like tablet PCs.
