Components tab

Use this tab to define the components in the assembly setup. You should create a line for every detail you might need in the assembly. When you use the assembly setup to create an assembly in the estimate, you can only enter details for the lines defined in the assembly setup. If you need to add something to the assembly that was not included in the setup, you will have to add it as a separate cost item in the estimate. Therefore, it is important that you consider all aspects of the assembly when you define the components. Use the component groups to organize the lines.

Field	Description
Component Group Name grid - Each row in the grid is a component group that will appear in enterprise level assemblies.
Sort	Displays a 5-digit numeric value used to sort the component groups. If you want to override the sort for the cost type category, enter a new number. Tip: You may want to leave gaps in your Sort values, such as intervals of ten. This makes it easy to insert or rearrange fields later.
Component Group Name	Enter a code of up to eight alphanumeric characters to identify the component group.
Show in Assembly	Select the checkbox to display the component group in assemblies that use this assembly setup. Deselect the checkbox is hide the component group in assemblies that use this setup.
Line Type grid - Click next to a row to display the card view. A card view shows the notable information for a row on a single screen, eliminating the need to scroll back and forth.
Sort	Displays a 5-digit numeric value used to sort the line types within component groups. If you want to override the sort for the cost type category, enter a new number. Tip: You may want to leave gaps in your Sort values, such as intervals of ten. This makes it easy to insert or rearrange fields later.
Line Type	Click to select the line type.
Label	Enter a label for the line type. This is displayed on the Cost Item window to identify the line.
Required	Select the checkbox to indicate that the line will be required in the assembly.
Show in Assembly	Select the checkbox to display the line in assemblies that use this assembly setup. Deselect the checkbox to hide the line in assemblies. If the Component Group is set not to show in assemblies, the checkbox is deselected and disabled.
Assembly Quantity	If the line type is Quantity, select the checkbox to indicate that quantity is the quantity of the assembly. When you select the checkbox, the Required checkbox is selected and disabled. Deselect the checkbox to indicate that quantity is a quantity within the assembly. Note: You must select this checkbox for at least one line in the assembly setup.
Formula	If the line type is Quantity or Item, click to select the formula for the line from a Lookup List. This field is required if the line type is Item. Use the Formula Parameters tab to specify the details for the formula.
Enable/Disable - Use this area to specify when the line item is enabled or disabled. You can enable or disable the line based on another line.
Enable Rule	Click to select when the line is enabled or disabled in an assembly.
Enable Group / Label	If the rule is Disabled based on another field answer or Enabled based on another field answer, enter the group or label for the line which will be used to determine when the current line is enabled or disabled or click to select the group or line from a Lookup List. You cannot select a line with a line type of Comment.
Enable Answer	If the rule is Disabled based on another field answer or Enabled based on another field answer, do one of the following: If the enable group / label selected has a line type of Quantity, enter the value that when entered in the field will enable or disable the current line. You can enter [ > 0] to enable or disable the current line when a value greater than 0 is entered. If the enable group / label selected has a line type of Pick List, click to select the value that when entered in the field will enable or disable the current line. The values available include all values for the pick list plus [blank] and [not blank]. If the enable group / label selected has a line type of Item, click to select the value that when entered in the field will enable or disable the current line. The values available include all values for the item plus [blank] and [not blank].
Quantity Line Information - This area is enabled if the line type is Quantity.
Allow Takeoff	Select the checkbox to be able to takeoff the quantity for the line directly from the assembly.
Display in Summary	Select the checkbox to display the quantity for the line in the Quantity Summary in the assembly.
Unit Select Method	Click to select how the unit of measure for the line will be determined.
Default Unit	If the unit select method is Enter Unit, click to select the unit of measure for the line.
Quantity Group / Label	If the unit select method is Default Unit from another field, enter the item component group or label for the line which will be used to determine the quantity or click to select the group or label from a Lookup List.
