Shared Access (Multi-user) with Cubit Enterprise Network

This feature is only enabled for the Cubit Estimating Enterprise Network Edition

Shared Access in Cubit Estimating allows multiple users to open the same Job at the same time and work on different Trade Headings without interfering with each other. This improves team collaboration and reduces downtime when multiple estimators need to contribute to the same project.

Enabling Shared Access

In Shared Access, multiple users can work in the Job at once, provided they are editing different Trade Headings.

To change a Job to Shared Access mode:

1. Open the Job in Cubit Estimating.

2. Change the Job Access setting from Exclusive to Shared Access from the Home tab of Cubit.

   
    

3. Once enabled, other users can open the same Job.

Important Considerations

• Jobs must have the correct structure, with all Items grouped under a Trade Heading.

  • If Items are not inside Trade Headings, the Job will remain locked and prevent multiple users from working simultaneously.

• Each user must be working in separate Trade Headings to avoid conflicts.

• You can update your Cubit Settings so Jobs automatically open in Shared Access mode.

  • Within the General tab of Cubit Settings, find the option "Default open job" and change the selection to "Shared".

  • Any new Jobs created from that point will open in shared mode.
