• Added a button in a quote template to allow you to see a graphical breakdown of resources in the job by build phase and estimating calculator.  Also there is a new data report with various options to filter the data and to edit/change the resource, edit the usage factor and change the build phase - directly from the report. 

• Updated the total cost in a quote template to give you a breakdown of cost, overhead & profit, and sale price.  2 graphs giving you a quick breakdown of the price (by build phase and estimating calculator) available by holding your mouse over the job's price.

• Added a button from within a quote template to open up any estimating calculator in a popup window to quickly review/edit resources and to add in sundry items.  Using this button to open up an opening's estimating calculator and then renaming the worksheet will update the description of the opening within the quote template (useful if you have lots of similar sized structural openings for example).

• Added back in 2 garage quote templates that were recently removed from the software (in error).

• Added resource wizard buttons to the remaining sections of a quote template that were missing them until now, including from within rooms.

• Improved the resources wizard to include multiple tabs giving you a graphical breakdown of resources in the worksheet by build phase and type of resource.  Also added a data report with various options to filter the data and to edit/change the resource, edit the usage factor and change the build phase - directly from the report.  Holding your mouse over the total cost on the resources wizard will give you a breakdown of how many columns of data are on the worksheet that you're viewing the specification for.

• Added buttons to an estimating calculator to allow you to move a column of data into a different worksheet, to allow you to group columns of data into different resource specifications or to combine them together if required.

• Added a setting in EstimatorXpress Options to allow you to change the build phase of a sundry item based on it having a particular 'item used for' description.  Commonly requested to allow for moving of 'return to ease door' out of the Completion build phase.

• Added a setting in EstimatorXpress Options to prevent lines of data with a quantity of zero from being exported to the reports so that the build phase can be removed from the build programme.

• Added a setting in EstimatorXpress Options to remove the 'Don't Save' option when closing a job (or the software) to prevent losing work by clicking the wrong button by mistake.

• Rename column button added to the dimensions tab of an estimating calculator.

• New shortcut of Ctrl+K added to the dimensions tab of an estimating calculator to enable copying of a cell's value into other columns.

• Copying a column in the dimensions tab of an estimating calculator now places the copied column next to the column that you're copying, rather than moving it to the end of the list.

• Added an option to the quote to supress the location from the detail of the estimating calculators.

• Ordering of resources in the quote when selecting to not sort the rows of data now defaults to the order of the lines as they appear in the estimating calculators.
