Quick Bid Release Notes

This update addresses this issue:

• ON-4783 - When exporting the Job Cost Summary export CSV file, the Job Data File, and several of the Accounting exports, the Category Codes are exporting as their internal numbers, not the expected letter codes (M=Material, L=Labor, etc.). You can convert them from number to letter using the key attached to this article. (The Job Data File export does not support custom Category Codes, they are always exported as the generic "M", "L", "S", "E", and "O" codes.)

Features

• New Job Data File Accounting Export (see Job Data File (Generic Accounting) Export).
  • Just an FYI: the Global Export options "Include Bid Number" and "Use Account Codes" do not affect the new Job Data File export.

Changes

• Remove Registration screen and all Personally Identifiable Information in compliance with the GDPR and California CPA
• Allow non-California U.S. Residents to opt-in to usage analytics (no bid information transmitted, just anonymous product/feature use data)
  • Non-U.S. residents and residents of California are opted out automatically until we can provide a method for purging customer data upon request
• Accounting and "Custom" Exports are no longer available to users who are not under a current maintenance subscription

• ON-2609 - Program crashes if you change the Qty/Day column on the Labor Tab in an Alternate in an interactive Bid
• ON-3331 - In a Bid with no Net Labor costs, overriding the Bid Total on the Markups Tab does not work

Found during QA Normal Testing

• ON-3282 - In Viewer (no-license) mode, the "Copy" button was active on the Main Toolbar
• ON-3427 - In databases where an exceptionally large number of eQuotes have been sent, sometimes it is not possible to import a vendors response file
• ON-3409/ON-3548 - Scrolling in numerous grids (Materials, Labor, Payroll, Subs, Equip, Other Tabs) is not always working correctly
• ON-3562 - Deleting multiple rows on the Subs, Equip, or Others Tab does not work correctly
• ON-3584 - Changing the Section when adding a new Subs entry causes the row to disappear
• ON-3764/ON-4148 - The Supplier column is not cleared when eQuote is unaccepted
• ON-3862 - When Division/Section Breaks are enabled on Subs Tab, duplicate does not show the duplicate row until Tab is refreshed
• ON-3871 - In an Alternate created in On-Screen Takeoff, right-clicking on the Materials Tab generated a "General Exception Error"
• ON-3913 - The "Total" row on the Equip and Other Tabs does not calculate correctly when Multi-Area is configured
• ON-3914 - When you select the option to "Show Section Breaks" on the Subs Tab, the Total row is not calculated
• ON-3916 - When invoking the context menu (right-click) on the Subs, Equip, or Other Tab, it contains incorrect options at the top

Known Issues

• ON-4727 - When creating a Job Data export, there are some scenarios that cause accepted change orders not to be included when generating an export for the entire bid. If you notice this, the work-around is to run the Export without including Accepted Change Orders, and then run the Export against each Accepted Change Order.
• ON-4807 - On the Materials Tab, if you use the "Show Description" option, Print Preview generates a "Bad Formula Result" error. A workaround for this is to select all the rows on the Materials Tab, Copy them, then Paste into Excel or Word.
• PMTE-2295 - Selecting Active Sections does not create the sections on the Subs Tab
• The "Set to Item Description" option for Schedule of Values Contracts is the same as "Set to Cost Code Description".

Quick Bid 4.99.04.01 is a HotFix for Quick Bid 4.99.03.02 and an upgrade for all prior versions available to all customers whose license supports 4.99.xx. This Hotfix replaces 4.99.03.02 and fixes several issues with the Materials, eQuotes, and Labor Tab grids that were identified during final testing of 4.99.03.02, and subsequently reported by customers. We are including all the "What's new" goodies from 4.99.03.02 below for your convenience.

Fixes

• ON-4039 - focus is shifting to incorrect cell when editing Waste or Supplier in the Materials grid.
• ON-4015 - moved the "Total" row on the Subs, Equip, Other, Material, Labor, and Payroll Tabs to the last row in the grid, instead of always being visible to reduce confusion about what the Total includes.
• ON-4000 - clicking "View Conditions in use" opened the lower grid correctly, but no record was selected in the top grid, so the bottom grid was empty. Also, with the Materials Tab open, navigating to another Bid was not selecting the top row so the bottom grid was blank.
• ON-3973 - after changing an editable field in the Labor Costs grid (production, for example), and then scrolling with a mouse caused the grid to malfunction.
• ON-3919 - when dragging an Item into an eQuote or inviting a Supplier, the grid is expanding previously collapsed eQuote and setting focus at the top of the grid.
• ON-3910 - when changing Size/Style, Mat. Cost, Total, Waste, Units, or Supplier in the Materials grid, changing the price of an Item in an eQuote, Inviting or Removing a Supplier to/from an eQuote, or adding or removing and Item to/from an existing eQuote, the eQuotes grid would redraw and the user's focus would be placed at the top of the grid.
• ON-3427 - in a database that contains a very large number of eQuotes (approximately 1,000), the eQuotes grid becomes unusable.

Features

• Show subtotals on the Equip, Subs, Other, Material, Labor, and Payroll Tabs (see Known Issues)
