Three easy steps!
When doing takeoffs, have you wished the system would automatically assign location or WBS values? Sage SQL Estimating makes this easy and shows you assigned default values during the takeoff.
- In Estimating, click Default Values from the Takeoff tab (you can float or dock the window in the spreadsheet).
- In the Default Values window choose default WBS codes, Location, or Alternate assignment.
- Leave the Default Values window open as you perform the take-off for the defaults to be assigned to items as they are taken off.
Leaving the Default Values window open during takeoff is a slight change from the Pervasive version. SQL allows the estimator to always know which defaults are chosen and to make changes to the defaults on the fly without having to find and relaunch the Default Values window.
