New Feature – 2022.2 Quote Folders
This is a new feature that I think at least some estimators will appreciate. Before this latest release, there was a way to force the material resource not to combine in Quote Folders, but it was tedious and somewhat obscure. Now it is just a…
HeavyBid Version 2022.2 Release Notes
Version 2022.2 is available for download now, and it does look interesting. There are some significant improvements to the Quote System, test connection now for P6, which was needed, revisions to reports, and of course, bug fixes. It was more than I expected. It doesn’t…
Creating Material on the Fly – No Tax Option
This was added in HeavyBid Version 2022.1. So when you add a material code in Tree View you get the box as shown below. Much better than having HeavyBid ask you a yes/no question. Way to go programmers! I wish there was documentation for 2022.1…
HeavyBid Version 2022.1
HeavyBid 2022.1 has been released but there are no notes on what is this release. More to come on this release but it will be pretty much correcting some bugs and have a few new improvements. This will be the final update I suspect until…
HeavyBid Version 2022.0 Released
This was just released but I suggest you wait two to three months to update to this latest version unless some of the new features you find compelling enough to upgrade immediately. I will do a video soon on the new release if HCSS does…
HeavyBid 2021.2
This version was released October 11. Again I recommend waiting a minimum of 2 months before installing the new release. I will be trying it out. There are obviously customers using the WBS feature of HeavyBid which after it was rolled out many years ago…
New Feature Coming
There is a new feature on the horizon in HeavyBid that I think will be very useful. You will be able to backup your System-Wide files to your company’s space on an Azure server. If you have activated Insights then you are taking advantage of…
HeavyBid Version 2021.1.1
If you get my newsletter I had a section on the latest version of HeavyBid (2021.1) that was pulled due to a programming bug. Not a major one but since it was caught so soon after its release it was pulled and just a few…
New Tab! In Tree View
This is a Version 2021 feature in HeavyBid that I almost missed. It really does help to read the release notes in the “What’s New” section in HeavyBid. It is the “Crew” tab. It adds a few options especially if you have materials in a…
HeavyBid Version 2021
HCSS just released HeavyBid 2021. There will be an official announcement in a month or so but it is available for download. Here is a list from What’s New” on the release. The drag and drop to copy from another estimate (Instance) is pretty cool….
