Job Statuses help you keep track of the progress of the jobs in your database. The Job Status master table stores the Job Statuses available in the current database. Job Status is assigned to a Bid on the Cover Sheet and can be used to indicate the phase or stage of a project. We recommend setting up a 'locked' Job Status for archived Bids (discussed in Related articles).
Click Master > Job Statuses
Set the "Sold" status to Lock Bid - all Bids set to this Job Status are now Read Only.
Note
When using Digital Production Control, it is recommended that the "Sold" Job Status be set to "Locked". This way, bids that are "Sold" cannot be changed accidentally (when preparing a bid for DPC (next Chapter) the archive copy is set to "Sold" or some other "Locked" status). Editing Job Statuses affects every Bid in the database. If you have other Bids set to "SOLD", they will become Read Only as well. You can always create a status named "SOLD-DPC" to separate these.There is more information on adding, modifying, and deleted Job Statuses in the On-Screen Takeoff User Guide.
