Other Names tab

Use the Other Names tab to name the additional cost types for cost items. By default, these ten other cost types are named Other1 through Other10. If you are using the accounting modules, the names you set up here must match the cost type codes set up in the Cost Types screen for the integration between the modules to function correctly.

These types are in addition to the defaults: Material, Labor, Equipment, SubContr, which have corresponding defaults in the Catalog tab and in the Cost Type screen.

While you can define different cost types for the Catalog and Estimate tab, Viewpoint recommends that you use the same cost types throughout the Estimating module. Use the Estimating Explorer screen to copy the Other cost types between catalogs and estimates. Click Apply to save your changes and continue working.

Note: If you want to remove an Other code from the Estimate tab, delete the Other code name from the field. This will remove it from all parts of the tab, including when you set up column views.
