Variable

Enter a unique name (up to 20 characters) to identify each variable in the standard database. This should describe what kind of item the variable applies to, what the formula calculates, and what unit of measure is used (example: Joist Span, Joist Depth). Be as specific as possible to ensure that Sage Estimating (SQL) asks for all of the necessary dimensions during takeoff. You can click List button to see a list of existing variables.

Tips:  

  • Because you will eventually have hundreds of variables, it is important to use a consistent naming scheme that helps you find the desired variable in a list.
  • To make the name more legible, capitalize only the first letter of each word.
