The Master menu provides access to tables that are stored on the database. Anything modified at the master / database level will affect all future bids. It is important to pay close attention to any modifications to the Master Menu Tables.
Changing an existing record at the Master level will affect future jobs, but will not affect a job previously entered. It is permissible to delete an existing record from the Master Items List even if that record has been used in a job. An estimator that is used in any bid in the database or is the owner of any Style Sets may not be deleted.
Changes made at the Master level are immediate and permanent. Proceed with caution when deleting from one of the Master menu lists. It will delete the information from the database. This deletion cannot be undone.
