Quick Bid 4.7

What's New in QB 4.7

This update includes major improvements to Quick Bid. It is important that you update your system to incorporate these changes and improvements.

Enhancements to Quick Bid

  1. Added Custom Reporting capabilities.
  2. Added Tell A Friend button, which gives users an easy way to recommend the ProfitBuilding SuiteTM to others.
  3. Added shorter time frames to Floating License Manager; user can now choose 3 hrs, 12 hrs, 1 day and 14 days.
  4. Copy/Paste functionality has been added to the Payroll Class detail window so users can very quickly setup or change payroll classes.
  5. Condition Detail print (report) has been formatted to show 19 characters for the item code (it was previously Only showing 8 characters of the code.) The entire
    layout has been enhanced to show two rows per one onscreen, for easier reading.
  6. Added Bid Locking feature to share bids without compromising information.
  7. Bid Navigator now shows an On-Screen Takeoff® icon when a bid is set to price using Quick Bid. This will help the user know when a bid is connected to OST thus keeping them from making changes (and they don’t have to go to the bids tab to see if it’s connected).
  8. The title bar (and consequently the task bar) now shows the bid number and bid name as it is shown in OST.
  9. Changed backup functionality for access databases by including a feature that asks the user if he/she would like to backup the database(s).
  10. Backup routine now occurs on exit of the application rather than on execution of the application to decrease the loading time when a user first starts the application.
  11. All Master level dialogs now indicate such on the title bar making it easier for the user to determine if they are affecting master records or just the bid records.
