Sequence tabs

Indicate the sequences available for sorting the items in your estimate. The sorting levels in each sequence appear as the headers of the leftmost columns in the spreadsheet. If you have minimized the overlines, the sorting levels appear in a combined column named Spreadsheet Level. In addition to the three default sequences, you can set up four other sequences for each estimate and customize the name that appears on the sequence tabs.

Tips:

To change the order of items in the spreadsheet, click one of the sequence tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
You can change the spreadsheet sequences at any time. Simply double-click a sequence tab to open the Estimate Information window and make your changes. If you have already performed some takeoff, Sage Estimating (SQL) recalculates the estimate quantities and changes the sequence tabs on the spreadsheet.
To scroll through the available sequences, click $image\arrolft.gif$ or $image\arrort.gif$ to the left of the sequence tabs.
Items under the Unassigned heading have not been attached to any entity within that sequence.
Items under the Multiple heading have categories with different job cost phrases.
