In 3.98.18.03, we renamed the Bids Tab to Projects Tab to more closely aligns its name with its functionality.
The Projects Tab displays a summary for each Project (including its Base Bid, Alternates, and Change Orders) in all open databases.
When you are using PlanViewer (no-license) mode, the Projects Tab is opens by default when launch On-Screen Takeoff.
Licensed users are presented with the Trending Tab (previous article) the first few times they launch the application.
The Projects Tab, along with the Project Express, Resources, and Trending Tabs, is always visible, even if no project/bid is selected.
Projects Tab Color Coding: Bid Date: Black = in the past, Blue = in the future, Red = bid date today
