**Overview**

The **Custom Labor** feature in XTEN-AV allows you to create and manage your own labor items based on your organization's installation requirements.

Open the proposal in which you want to make changes. Click on the **“Rooms & Items”** option located in the left menu bar, then click on **“Labor Settings”** located in the right menu bar.

Please select the **Custom** option from the **Labor Type**. This will apply the selected labor settings to current proposal. 

To view labor costs by room, choose **“Room Wise”** under **Custom Labor Preferences**.  

After making the necessary changes, click **“Save & Close”** to apply and confirm your updates.
