Comments composition for the quantities table

The Comments composition for the quantities table dialogue box, which appears when the Comments button  is pressed, has been improved. Users have more comment construction possibilities for Subtable headers, Quantity lines, Line spacers “To deduct” and Quantity lines “To deduct”. The composition of the Comment and Comment2 columns can be seen in a single dialogue box, allowing users to compare both comments at the same time.

Default compositions are created using information of the Category, Family or Type of the quantity elements, which aids in composing the comments.

When quantities are extracted, if comments have been defined using the Category, Family and Type information (or any combination of them), the comments that have been created using the more detailed information prevail. The priority is Type > Family > Category. In other words, the program checks to see if there are any comments in Type and if so, these comments are used. If none are found, the program checks if there are comments present in Family, otherwise it checks if there are comments in Category.

If the quantities of the job item are obtained by linking them to a Material, as of the 2016.j version, comments can be composed by using information of the Material category or of the material itself.

If job items are assigned from the Rooms tab, the creation of the comments is simplified.
