Written by UDA Corporate Newsroom | March 8, 2021

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
