Sorting a Cubit Estimating Job - Grouped View

Feature Availability: Versions 2022 (11.0.6) and above. For older versions, please visit:

Sorting a Cubit Estimating Job - Grouped View | for Cubit Versions 8 to 10


In earlier versions of Cubit Estimating, sorting and analysing estimates had to be done outside of the job using the Job Manager screen. The introduction of the Grouped View feature allows for sorting and analysis to be done directly within the job, but only for R-coded jobs. With this feature, any changes made to the estimate are automatically reflected in the Grouped View, eliminating the need to manually re-analyse the job. Additionally, sorting is more flexible, allowing you to choose the specific Description by which to analyse your data.

For Q-coded jobs, this functionality remains unchanged and must still be managed via the Job Manager screen.
