We have released the ability to add Prelims to your estimates.

You can manage your prelims within the "Prelim catalogue" on the Dashboard.

Click the "+" button to add a prelim. You can also add a category, name, markup and unit buy.

You can choose between "Labour" and "Materials" prelim. If you don’t specify a markup, then the type will determine if the default material markup or default labour markup is used once they’re added to an estimate.

Once you have set up prelims in your catalogue, they will automatically be included in any new estimates.

These can be found in a new page called "Prelims".

All prelims will have 0 quantities as default. To add the costs to the estimate, simply assign quantity to the required prelims.

If you have estimate specific prelims, you can also add them by clicking the "+" on the prelims page.

Note: These will not be propagated back to the catalogue.

All prelims with quantities will be included in the "Reports" page.

You can filter prelims into their own section as needed.

- Both “(x) (y)” and “(x) and (y)” now work

- Both “not(something)” and “not (something)” now work

- A spinner after 5s without confirmation of save

- A “disconnected from CF message” after 30s

- An icon and popup window after 45s

We have released a full rework of the "Reports" page.

The layout is now consistent with other pages, with the ability to customise columns and filters as necessary.

If you do not have any pre-existing templates, all information is displayed in "Everything else" section. Any pre-existing templates can be found in the template drop down menu.

To start splitting your data up, click the "+" to add a section.

You can define what is in each section by adding filters and choosing which columns you want to show.

All sections will have the same layout unless you click "customise layout".

Note: Some items are coloured red. This is to indicate that they don't have any kits linked.

You need to save your template once you have set up the required layout. Templates can be shared across projects, saving you time on future estimates.

All sections will appear in your report. If you want to omit a section from the report, click "Exclude".

We have also made it possible to show an expanded product view for your items.

By default, templates will show your information based on the item name from your takeoff – with one row per item.

Checking "Expanded products view" in the "Options" drop down menu will expand the information and itemise your products– with one row per product for each item.

Similar to the other pages, you can download the report using the download button.

Any previously downloaded reports can be found in the "Previous report" button.

It is now possible to add notes to your takeoff drawings.

This can be found under the tab. You can also add arrows and clouds.

Click or use keyboard shortcut to create notes.

Once a note is created, you can then add arrows and clouds by clicking the button or by using keyboard shortcut .

You can add multiple arrows and clouds to each note.

All parts of a note can be edited by clicking the button or right clicking while in mode.

Any notes added within the app will show on the output drawings as default.

They will also appear on a sheet in the excel spreadsheet:

While working on notes, the following controls are available:

Note Boxes:

Arrow / Cloud:

(NOTE: Confirming a shape with 1 or 2 points will result in an arrow with no cloud)

(NOTE: Deleting an arrow's end point will delete the arrow. Deleting a cloud's points down to 2 will remove the cloud)

We have added the ability to exclude tax from labour costs in Estimate.

This can be toggled on when first creating your estimate, or via "Edit estimate details".

This is particularly useful for regions where tax is not applied to labour, but still applied to materials.
