To add a new subcategory to a MacNail construction estimate
or construction estimator, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Clearinghouse or Specifications.
2. Click the mouse at the spot where you want to add the new subcategory.
NOTE: You'll only be able to add a subcategory if the estimate actually has a Clearinghouse!
3. Choose Add Category from the Format menu, then click New subcategory only at the first dialog.
4. You will be asked for further information about the new subcategory.
5. Enter a subcategory name, the number of blank lines to include in Specifications, the method
to use for calculating labor/ materials/subs, and the skilled wage rate to use, then click OK.
6. A new subcategory will automatically be added to the estimating worksheet at the selected location. The
subcategory that you previously clicked on will be moved downwards, and the new subcategory will be inserted
at the selected location.
WARNING: For MacNail job costing to work correctly when posting to a '2-level' Cost
Control worksheet, you may have no more than 99 subcategories under any main category. |
