Features and Changes

Windows 10 Compatible

Windows 10 compatible – enjoy using your new software on Microsoft’s latest version of Windows®! (See System Requirements)

Although we have not certified Windows 11 (or SQL 2019), there's no technical reason for the applications to not work with these Microsoft products/versions.

• Show subtotals on the Equip, Subs, Other, Material, Labor, and Payroll Tabs.
• Round Up, Down, or to the Nearest Container on Materials Tab.

eQuotes Improvements and Fixes

Proposals, Exports, and Reports

Accounting Exports

Major Fixes

• Copying and pasting line items in a Condition Assemblies pastes the copied items 2 rows down instead of immediately below the focus point."
• When dragging an Item into an eQuote or inviting a Supplier, the grid is expanding previously collapsed eQuote and setting focus at the top of the grid.
• When changing Size/Style, Mat. Cost, Total, Waste, Units, or Supplier in the Materials grid, changing the price of an Item in an eQuote, Inviting or Removing a Supplier to/from an eQuote, or adding or removing and Item to/from an existing eQuote, the eQuotes grid would redraw and the user's focus would be placed at the top of the grid.
• Update Quick Bid to support manual Condition Results from exported ConstructConnect Takeoff file.
• Unchecking total ""Condition Price"" option from Bid Summary Report does not hide total condition price.
• Overhead and Profit % in the Bid Summary Report are not calculating as expected when Bid includes Multi-areas for Subs, Equip, and Other expenses.
• Type-ahead for Estimator on the Cover Sheet doesn't fill in Estimator when a user presses the <Enter> key.
• Synchronize database logins/passwords if user(s) does not exist in Destination database.
• Match existing contact and estimator information when importing eQuotes and Bid Packages.
