Update Database

Update Database from Estimate

Update standard database from estimate enables you to make changes to the estimate’s spreadsheet item and then update the standard database with those changes.

You can update the following item elements to the standard database.

  • Waste Factor
  • Crew
  • Price (per item category)
  • Productivity/Conversion Factor (per item category)
  • Apply Waste (per item category)
  • Taxable or Non-taxable (per item category)
  • Job Cost Phase (per item category)
  • Job Cost Category (per item category)
  • WBS Code Values
  • Add new item categories

Tips:  

  • Create a custom spreadsheet layout that only shows the columns you can update to the standard database.
  • Sage Estimating (SQL) does not update items in the database with attachments in the estimate.
