When creating a factor, you will select a Method (how the factor is calculated) and a Category (where the factor shows up in your financials).
​
Your factor will show up in the financial breakdowns differently depending on which category you choose.
​
Here are the options to choose from when adding a Factor Category:

You can see that each of these categories matches up with those on your Costs/Margins graph on the Overview page. The total value from the factor will be displayed in the corresponding category on the Costs/Margins graph:

The exception is the "Travel" category; factors categorized as Travel are divided evenly between the four Labor categories (Engineering, Install, Management, and Programming.)
​
These categories generally don't affect your proposals, since Factors are typically broken out separately. The exception is if you are using Hidden Factors - in which case the factor total will be rolled into the corresponding category on your quote.
