Searching a list
In a list, you can search for items that meet specific criteria.
Before you begin
Open the List window if you have not already done so.
To search a list:
- Open the Search area.
- From the Item Takeoff or Assembly Takeoff window, right-click on the item list area and choose
Search.
- From all other
List windows, the Search area is open by default.
- Type your search criteria
in the Search field. You can type a combination of full or partial words
or special characters. The search is not case-sensitive; you do not have
to capitalize words in order to find matching results.
Note: Type
specific criteria. If you type a single letter or number, the search is
slow and produces a wide range of results. For example, type cop
1/2 instead of 1/2 to find
1/2" copper tube.
- Click
[Search] or press Enter. Sage Estimating displays items that match all your criteria.
- Close the Search area when you finish searching.
- From the Item Takeoff or Assembly Takeoff window, right-click on the item list area and select
Close Search.
- From all other List windows,
click [Close Search].
