Show Excluded Alternates command

Note: This feature is available only with a Sage Estimating (SQL) SQL product license. (It is not available with Sage Estimating Essential.)

You can choose to display only items that have an Included status or you can display all items (regardless of their status) in the Alternate Summary pane.

  • To display alternates that are not included in the estimate, click the Advanced tab > Show Excluded Alternates.

  • To show only included alternates, clear the Show Excluded Alternates checkbox on the Advanced tab.

The Show Excluded Alternates checkbox is also available on the Alternate Summary pane. (Selecting it in either location has the same effect.)

Important! If you select this command, all alternate amounts will appear in the Alternate Summary pane, regardless of whether they are included in the estimate. Therefore, the amounts shown in the Alternate Summary could be different from the amounts you see on the Totals pane.
