UDA Technologies continues to invest in the growth and stability of ConstructionOnline with several new updates & enhancements released today, including:

COMPANY COSTBOOKS & ITEMS DATABASE

• Costbooks Export
  • Users can export existing costbooks
  • Users can download blank costbooks templates
  • Users can modify exported costbooks and re-import them to update existing costbooks

Note: Exported costbooks and costbook templates have a second README page that contains instructions for the costbook file, including a list of all valid Units, Units of Measure, Classifications, etc. 

• Costbook Import & Update
  • Users can now choose to Import Costbooks when right-clicking on an existing costbook to import updates to the costbook. 
  • Updating existing items:
    • Costbook Item Name and Parent Name are the unique identifiers
    • An existing Costbook Item will only be updated if the item in the imported costbook has the same name and same location in the file hierarchy. 
    • Changes to either will result in a new Costbook Item and the existing Costbook Item will remain unaltered. 
  • Creating New Items:
    
    • Adding a new Costbook Item to the costbook import file will add that item to the costbook on import
    • Renaming an existing row item will create a new Costbook Item with the new name and any details in the renamed costbook line item
    • Changing the Parent of the Costbook Item (e.g. moving the row item to a different parent folder) will create a new Costbook Item
