Setting Up Estimators

Each database can contain a unique list of Estimators who will be working in a specific database.  Having an Estimator in one database does not necessarily mean that Estimator will be included in other databases.  Including Estimators at the database level can save you time when working in bids by allowing you to pull from a list that has all of the Estimator's information.
You will also need to have all of your employees entered as Estimators if you use eQuote or Require Logins.

  1. To add an Estimator, from the Master menu, click Estimators. The Estimator List (Master)  dialog appears.

  1. Click and type in the Estimator's name in the blank cell that appears.  The Login Name defaults to initials, but can be changed to whatever you choose.

  2. Once you have added the estimator, you can set Access Levels for the Estimator.  An Estimator’s access to a database is controlled by logging in with a password at the splash screen when Quick Bid is first opened.  Access is divided into five areas of the program: Master Items, Other’s Bids, Bid Lists, Master and Payroll Classes.  Each area may be assigned a level of access: Full Access, No Access or Read–Only Access.

  1. Provide an e-mail address for this Estimator.  This is required for sending eQuotes.

  2. Click to exit the dialog.
