Changing an item description on the spreadsheet
To open the Detail window:
- On the Home tab, from the Estimate Views group, click Details.
- In classic view, click View menu > Detail Window.
When the Detail window is open:
-
It stays on top of other Sage Estimating (SQL) windows. To work in another window, simply move the Detail window to a convenient position.
-
You can float the Detail window or dock it to the outside edge of the Sage Estimating (SQL) window. For more information, see Docking and Window Positioning.
-
The fields in the Detail window, which correspond directly to the columns of the spreadsheet, provide an alternate way to enter information.
-
You can display the full Detail window or just the four tabs. To change the size, drag the bottom border of the window up or down.
-
Any changes you make in the Detail window apply only to the current estimate.
-
The first time you open the Detail window in a work session, the Extension tab is on top. After that, the tab last viewed opens on top.
-
If you combine items on the spreadsheet, an asterisk (*) marks cells that contain a combined value.
-
The shortcut menu offers commands for working in the Detail window.
