Customizing-- Formula Menu

NOTE-- We retired the MacNail estimating program in 2000, and replaced it with Goldenseal construction estimating software. There are still a significant number of die-hard MacNail users, so we keep the manuals online for them! Goldenseal is an integrated program that also includes accounting, scheduling and contract writing features. Goldenseal estimates also have the option whether to display the labor hours for each line item, in each Estimate, or in a report.

Formula Menu

The MacNail construction management software adds six new commands to the bottom of the Formula menu, to help you to work with formulas in Customizing files. All of the MacNail commands start with an asterisk (*).

NOTE: Some of the Formula menu commands may not be visible on a small screen. Drag the mouse down to the very bottom of the menu to see the remaining commands.

Labor Hour Formulas

Choose *Labor Hour Formulas to add or remove the display of labor person-hour quantities in an Estimate or Estimator in the MacNail construction estimating software. See pages 138-139 for further instructions on the use of this command.
