Minimize overline columns

Reduces the amount of indentation at the left side of the Spreadsheet report. The indent for each lower-level row is just a few spaces instead of a full column.

Note: This option is selected if you have minimized overlines into a single column on the spreadsheet.

Setting Result

☐

Uses full column indents.

☑

Uses narrow indents.

Tips:  

  • No minimization occurs if the spreadsheet is in Takeoff Order sequence.

  • Clicking [Prefill from Spreadsheet] on the report options window changes this option to match the current layout of the spreadsheet.

    If you select Minimize Overlines command on the spreadsheet ribbon (in the Spreadsheet Actionsgroup on the Home tab), this option is selected.

  • This option takes precedence over the column width and text wrapping specified by the spreadsheet layout.

  • If you select this option, you should use the same background color for the cells containing the level codes and description.
