Adding Cost Categories

PROBLEM

can you add categories to cost control sheet in MacNail construction job costing software?
can you add subcategories to a cc worksheet in MacNail construction accounting software?

Diagnosis

if they have customizing, it's best to make a custom estimator with new categories. CC sheets made from estimates that are made from that will get the new cats/subcats automatically.
to change an existing cc sheet itself, you can:

Solution

1. Add a new category to a 1 layer CC sheet. In CC Manager, select a row on the cc sheet and choose Add Rows from the Edit menu. When asked to fill down formulas, click OK. Then change code, description etc.
2. Add a new subcategory to a 2 layer CC sheet. In the subcategory section, select the last subcateogry and choose Add Rows from the Edit menu. When asked to fill down formulas, click OK. Then change code, description etc. Subcategories must be sequential integers (1, 2, 3, 4...)

NOTE: It is not really possible to add a new category to a 2 layer cc sheet. Would involve adding formulas etc, more than we can explain over the phone.
NOTE 2: To make a permanent change for future cc sheets made 'from scratch', do the above on the MacNail 1 layer cc blank or whichever blank they use.
