Standard Database Catalog toolbar functions
Option	Description
Refresh standard database catalog	Updates the list of standard databases with any changes you or other users make while the Estimating Management Console is open. For example, if another user creates a new standard database in the Sage Estimating software, the new standard database appears in the Standard Database Catalog pane when you click the refresh icon.
New branch	Creates a new branch in the Standard Database Catalog pane or a new sub-branch below the selected branch or sub-branch.
Delete branch	Removes the selected branch or sub-branch from the Standard Database Catalog pane. You cannot remove a branch or sub-branch if it has standard databases and sub-branches within it. The Estimating Management Console prompts you to remove the standard databases from the selected branch or sub-branch before deleting it.
New standard database	Creates a new, empty database and adds it to the Estimating Management Console. You type the name of the new database and select the catalog branch where you want it to be displayed. You can also specify standard database details such as company, phase, and crew information. Refer to the Standard Database window for instructions.
Search for new standard databases	Performs a general scan of all instances for available databases that are not currently displayed in the Estimating Management Console. You can add standard databases created in other Sage Estimating instances to your current SQL Server instance. However, Sage Estimating does not recognize any standard databases unless they are added to the Standard Database catalog from within the Estimating Management Console. Use this option to add standard databases to the Standard Database catalog so that they will be recognized by Sage Estimating and made available for use. See Adding databases to the Estimating Management Console (EMC) for more information. This scan does not include estimates and Address Book databases.
