Quick Bid / OST import | Moving a full database from Quick Bid or On-Screen Takeoff |
Spreadsheet import | Adding or updating items and codes from Excel or CSV |
Before you start
- Create the database first, with the right currency and measurement system (Imperial or Metric). The measurement system can’t be changed later, and projects only offer databases that match theirs.
- Check your access: You need write access from your organization to import/ makes changes to the database.
