Canoa's Canvas is more than just another digital mood board tool. With one click, you can create a Product List (also known as a furniture schedule) with the products on your Canvas, making the furniture design and specification process quick and easy. Work with real furniture specifications from your Canvas mood board and create and download furniture schedules at any time during your design process.
Open your mood board.
Select the Product List icon on the toolbar, and the list will appear hovering on your cursor.
Place the list wherever you would like on your Canvas with just a click.
Click the Gear icon on the List to edit the Settings of your Product List.
Name your Product List.
Choose the data fields you would like to show on your Canvas.
Toggle the Subtotal price on or off for your list.
Order the data fields to your liking by clicking the three dashed lines and moving the fields up and down the Settings panel.
To save these settings, simply click outside of the side panel.
Resize the Product List as wide or tall or short and narrow as you would like by clicking on the corners or edges of the schedule and drag.
You can also resize the width of your data columns inside of the list by zooming in and grabbing the edge of the column and dragging right or left.
Sort your columns by ascending or descending order by clicking on the arrows.
Use the Search Bar within the list to find a product quickly.
Use the Filters button to filter and show only specific categories of product.
Filter by Areas, Category, Condition, Lead Time, Manufacturer, Vendor, and Tags.
You can also filter by toggling between the three icon views - product drawings, product images, and product cards.
Confirm counts by filtering product and checking the Quantity column. This is great for validating space plans.
To download the list to a .CSV file, select the list and click Export Selection icon at the bottom. In the format window, choose CSV as the format in the drop down menu. Select the data fields you wish to be included, and click download. A CSV file will be sent to your email within seconds. You can take that .CSV file and bring it into Excel, GoogleSheets, Airtable, or any spreadsheet program that you use.
The best way to create budgets within Canvas is with the use of Dashboards. When you add a Dashboard (also known as project) to your Canvas, you are only now able to add in custom pricing per line item in your Product List. With Dashboards, you have full control of Discounts and Markups. You then can decide whether to show or hide these data fields in addition to List Price, Sell Price, Net Price, and Net Discount fields. This is a great feature to create quick ROM budgets when presenting to clients.
