Created page with "== Div Structure == 99% of the time you will spend on an Estimating File will be spent on Div's so its important to know their Structure & Purpose === Beginning Rows === Each..."

New page

== Div Structure ==
99% of the time you will spend on an Estimating File will be spent on Div's so its important to know their Structure & Purpose

=== Beginning Rows ===
Each Div Initially starts off with 5 rows which act as a title and Column Headers for the Page

[[File:Beginning 5 rows.png|center]]

These should never be edited as shown below in the [[#Editing Area|Editing Area Section]]

=== Rows ===
After the beginning rows, every row is one of the rows as described in the table below

Each row serves their own purpose and should be used together to get a cleaner template

{| class="wikitable"
|-
!style="padding: 20px" |Indicator !! Expected Actions !! Name !! Examples !! Type
|-
| DV|| Static|| Division|| Div 1 - General Conditions|| Summary
|-
| SD|| Add/Delete|| SubDivision|| Testing, Temp services|| Summary
|-
| HD|| Add/Delete|| Header|| Millwork Subtrade Scope|| Summary
|-
| ST|| Add/Delete|| Staff||PM, Superintendent|| Cost
|-
| CL|| Add/Delete|| CostLine|| Millwork, Wood Doors|| Cost or Summary
|-
| CD|| Add/Delete|| CostDetail|| Counter tops, each wood door type|| Cost
|-
| CM|| Add/Delete|| Comment|| Comment|| Comment
|-
| SPC|| Add/Delete|| Space|| Space|| Space
|}

I know this table doesn't really make anything clear but it is just used as a reference

Along with these Rows lies a hierarchy as shown in the photo below

[[File:Rows.png|center]]

Where the Structure is DV -> SD -> HD -> ST or CL -> CD

* A Division is Always at the top followed by a Subdivision followed by a header

* Once a Header is Placed, a ST Line or a CL may be placed

* The CL can stand alone or it can have CD's attached to it

* If the CL stands alone it operates identically to a ST Line

* If it has CD's attached, it operates like a HD Line (i.e holds the sum of the CD's)

* Comments & Spaces can fit anywhere in the structure

Its hard to explain with words how the structure exactly exists but the more examples you see the more comfortable you'll be with it

=== Colors ===
To help with the Structure, Colors have been used to show the difference and hierarchal position of each row type

The more dark the Row, the higher in position it is and the lighter the lower in position

The Actual Color Scheme being shown depends on the Theme Selected (i.e the colors won't always be purple)

==== CL/ST ====
The Text of each ST and CL will either be black or red in color.

Red Indicates that the Line has an actual value while black means there is none being calculated

The Description Cell may also be colored yellow indicating that there is an error in the line

Although this feature isn't really confirmed as of writing this

=== Hidden Columns (or Rows) ===
==== Columns ====
Currently there are 4 hidden Columns that exist in a Div Page
* Bond --> (O Column) contains info on bond of CostLine (can be activated in the Report & Others Ribbon)
* Equipment Unit --> (R Column) *Deactivated* should not be seen or used
* Equipment Total --> (S Column) *Deactivated* should not be seen or used
* SubForm Label --> (U Column) Can place letter for a row to be used in Breakdown Sheet (activated with Enable B.D. Checkbox)

The User has the ability to Hide Current Columns or Force Open hidden ones but this action is not recommended as it may result in a pink slip
==== Rows ====
By default no rows should be hidden and all should be visible

There are two checkboxes that can hide and unhide rows
* Comments --> Hides/Unhides all Comments
* Zeros --> Hides/Unhides all Zeros

The User has the ability to Hide Current Rows or Force Open hidden ones but this action is not recommended as it may result in a pink slip

This Photo is blurry because it is resized
[[File:Div 1 Red.png|center| 1500px]]

The photo above is an example Div with horrible looking highlighting on it

Basically the areas highlighted in red are what I would call 'Red-Zones' aka don't touch.

The user should never edit these zones however if they do, there is some error correction but it is not guarenteed
