Type column

Choose how to assign WBS values to items.

• Takeoff—only during takeoff or in the estimate (spreadsheet and Detail window). Use this setting if the WBS values assigned to items are usually different. Example
• Item—only in the standard database (Database Item window). Use this setting if the WBS values assigned to items are always the same. These WBS values come into the estimate with the items at takeoff but cannot be changed in the estimate. Example
• Detail—any combination of the Takeoff and Item methods. Use this setting if the WBS values assigned to items are usually the same, but might change in certain situations. Example

Tip: To choose the type, click or enter the first letter of the desired type.
