Employees can be Estimators, Laborers, Project Managers, or Foremen - anyone related to working on a project.  Adding the full list of your company's employees into On-Screen Takeoff is advisable, that way they are available in all Bids.  On-Screen Takeoff supports importing a list of employees in CSV format making it easy to add all employees to the database at once (see the next article for details).

To access the Employee dialog box, click Master > Employees or click the Lookup button  on the Cover Sheet for Estimator

 

This opens the Employees dialog box. To add, change or delete an employee record, click the appropriate button on the right side of the dialog box.

 

When editing or adding an employee record, the Employee Detail dialog box displays.

 

 

 

When adding a new employee record, First Name, Last Name, and Emp. No. are required fields. Employee number must be unique for that employee.  All other fields in the Employee Detail dialog are optional (but helpful).  

 

Click OK to save the employee to the database.

 

See Setting Employee Access Levels (Security) for information on using On-Screen Takeoff's built-in security.
