What's New in this Release

The following enhancement is available in this release:

Sort SpecificWBS Quantities

Projects that havemultiple locations or buildings that have similar systems or divisions of work may

require you to use alternate quantities at various sort levels within a filter to represent the values specific

to a location or building. This will ensure that you havemore accuratemetrics and values rolled up to

each heading level.

When viewing a filtered view, your quantities are read directly from the Estimate table.

Editing the quantities in the Estimate table will automatically update the quantities in Sheet view.

WinEst Readme Page 3

However, when you enable the filter's 'Use Sort-Specific WBS Quantities' sorting setting, you can enter

alternate quantities for these headings in the filter (sheet view).

Notice that these alternate quantities only appear on the Sheet view and do not affect the quantities in

the Estimate Table.

WinEst Readme Page 4

These alternate quantities are recorded in the Estimate Information (EstInfo) table's Estimate Info - Sort

Specific WBS Quantities tab.

EDM

A new option has been added to EDM to enable users to load their project tree automatically. Note that if

you have thousands of projects, youmay wish to disable this setting as they may take some time to

load. This setting is disabled by default.
