You can locate an item in the spreadsheet or in assembly takeoff when you search for items that match the description that you specify.
- Click
on the toolbar to open the Find/Go To window. - Mark the Search by description check box.
- Enter one or more keywords to search for. Sage Estimating will find all the items whose descriptions contain all the keywords entered. Example
- Specify the scope of
the search.
- To search the entire spreadsheet from the beginning, select the Start from beginning check box.
- To start searching the spreadsheet from the current cursor position forward, clear the Start from beginning check box blank.
- To limit the scope of the search to specific spreadsheet levels, specify one or more spreadsheet levels at the top of the window.
- Click [Go] to start the search.
Note: This command is available for only the spreadsheet or assembly takeoff. If you have a list open, this command becomes the Search/Close Search command.
The spreadsheet level fields correspond to the spreadsheet sequence in effect when you start Find/Go To. For example, if the spreadsheet is in the Phase/Item sequence when you start Find/Go To, two fields appear at the top of the window: Phase and Item. Likewise, if the spreadsheet is in the Assembly sequence when you start Find/Go To, one field appears in the window: Assembly.
Sage Estimating lists the matching items. You can double-click an item in the list to jump to it on the spreadsheet.
