Use Enter Key to Navigate in Dialogs |
Pressing the <Enter> key moves the cursor from field to field in dialog boxes. |
Lock Labor Tab from Global Changes |
Prevents estimators from going to the Labor Tab and entering in new labor prices that change all the conditions in the entire Bid. The Labor Tab becomes a Read-Only screen. |
Use Wage Type from Assemblies |
Assemblies always default to their original wage types (Union, Sub, etc.) and bypass the default wage type selected at the Bid Cover Sheet. |
Show Text on Selected Toolbars |
The Bid toolbar displays text beside each button describing its function. |
Create Master Item During Bid Copying |
When copying a Bid from one database to another, this option automatically adds the pasted Bid’s Items to the Master Items Table of the destination database. |
Filter Cost Codes by Section |
Automatically filters Labor Cost Codes in the Condition Details and Item Calculation screens to show only those Cost Codes assigned to the chosen Section. (Cost Codes must be associated with a Section for this feature to work.) |
Confirmations |
Turn on all confirmation dialogs |
Disables all confirmation prompts that display anytime an estimator performs certain actions including: deleting bids, conditions, and payroll classes. |
Ask Before Updating Master Material Pricing |
Disables the confirmation asking whether the changes made to a material price in a Bid should update the Master price. Any updates to the Master affect future bids. When this confirmation is disabled, the Master Item(s) are not updated when you make changes to a bid-level Item (in the Condition Detail or on the Material or Labor Tabs) or when you accept an eQuote - only the bid-level Item is updated. |
Turn on eQuotes Welcome Dialog |
Shows users the short eQuotes tutorial when they access the eQuote functionality on the Materials Tab. |
Ask before Replacing Materials on the Materials Tab |
Disables the warning box that shows at the beginning of a Material Swapping action or re-enables it if you've clicked the "Do not show this message again" box. |
