4.09.00 Labor Tab

Labor Tab video

The Labor Tab displays a list of all Labor Cost Codes used in the current Bid, summarized by specific production rate and unit of measure (UOM).

A Cost Code, or Labor Cost Code (LCC), identifies a particular type of labor being performed.  These codes are normally broken out by UOM and production.  So, the same cost code may be listed multiple times on the Labor Tab, depending on the UOM and production rate for each Condition where it is used.

Each column can be sorted by clicking once on a column header, then again to toggle between ascending (arrow up) and descending (arrow down).

• Use the Section, Area, Cost Code, and Condition Type filters located directly below the main tab to help filter the view.

• When you filter the Labor Tab by Area, only the quantities assigned to the selected Area are displayed in the grid however if you then open the Condition Detail from the bottom panel, the total Quantities (for all Bid Areas) are displayed in the Condition Detail dialog box, not just the Quantities for the selected Area (as when filtering on the Conditions Tab).

• Place a check in the Show production box to display three additional Production columns (yellow) providing additional information and Context Menus choices

• Place a check in the View conditions in use box to display a list of all conditions in which the selected Cost Code is used (shown above) - open the Condition Detail for a condition for review or editing by double-clicking a row

Changing/Swapping Labor Cost Codes

You may find that a Labor Cost Code used isn't correct or needs to be 'swapped'  You can do this right on the Labor Tab.

Click the Lookup tool  for the Cost Code you want to replace - the Cost Code list (Master) dialog opens.

Select the new Cost Code to use and click Select, the dialog closes and the Cost Code is changed in every Conditions where it was used.  Production and Labor costs remain the same, only the LCC is swapped out.

If the Labor Tab is filtered by an Section, then the LCC is changed, only Condition line items where the LCC is associated with the selected Section are updated.  

When the Labor Tab is filtered by Area, however, the entire Condition is updated, not just the filtered value because each line item in the Grid can be associated with a single Section and LCC.

Labor Tab Context Menu
