Flagging a Price Master

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. It automatically updates estimating prices when the cost of labor or materials changes, so you don't need a Price Master or manual posting, as happened in MacNail.

Flagging Items in a Price Master

When you flag items in a Price Master, you 'll be asked whether to include the selected items in the bid.

If you click Yes, the word 'include' will be put into the flag column of the selected row or rows. When the selected items are moved to an Estimator in the MacNail construction estimating software, they'll be given a formula in the units used column that automatically includes them in the bid.

If you click No, the word 'option' will be put into the flag column of the selected row or rows. When the selected items are moved to an Estimator with the Move Prices command, they will not have a formula in the units used column that will include them in the bid.

If you click Cancel, all action will stop, and the items will not be flagged at all.
