Looking for a course or training video on how to create, edit, and maintain Assemblies in Sage Estimating. We are on version # 17.13.17326.401.

When I run the report now, the actual Phase Code numbers do not show up in the report, just the Description. Save it as pdf and go to edit the pdf, edit the cell where the descriptions are and it appears to be a muddle of the description and the number…

We recently upgraded from Pervasive to Sage 18.11. I am trying to update and also do some improvements in our existing database(Job Cost Codes or Job Phase,NOT PRICE CODE!). There are no way to make a report for all Job Codes plus Descriptions into…

I created Crews/Resources/Rate tables etc in a template estimate that I start from in each of my estimates. The other estimators prefer the way I have set things up and management likes the way I set up the rate tables so they can easily go in and update…

Hello, I am trying to build an assembly for concrete footings and having trouble figuring out the best way to go about it. I have built plenty of other assemblies and they work great, but this time around I am stumped. My goal is to have one single…

Is there a way to copy a set of 100 cells (100 rows deep by 1 column wide) and paste those into excel? Right now doing it one by one and sure takes a long time..... Thank you

Is there a way to create a template for estimates so that i don't have to add all the items each time i start a new estimate?

does anyone use estimating, job cost, and the contract modules (all 3)? I have questions on how to transfer data between them.

Estimating will stop working and close when in the Item Takeoff screen. The user is simply scrolling through the items when this happens.

Does anyone have a lead on someone who could convert custom crystal reports that work with the pervasive database versions of estimating, to reports that will work with SQL? It would seem the reports have to be rebuilt once you upgrade to SQL. Quite frustrating…

Aloha fellow Sage City dwellers. I've had trouble upgrading SQL databases after installing new SQL Instance for latest versions. No problem using Mgmt Console Tools to restore the backups, but Estimating locks up after failing to upgrade. Has anyone…

I am attempting to add a new variation amount to a previously uploaded estimate in Job Cost. I have followed the procedure as detailed in the Help screens which basically required a ‘Change Order Request’ to be created in PJ. The new estimate was uploaded…

After I upgraded from 9.7 to 13.1 for Sage on the Server (the one with the dongle), Everything worked fine with opening the software and estimates on each workstation, but I was having to upgrade each estimate as I went for testing, this would be an annoyance…

I use Estimating to import takeoffs from a 3rd party program (On Screen Takeoff) and assign them to assemblies. The assemblies have a list of items which are associated with an RS Means cost database. This process generates the estimate. However, the…
