Bid Cost Revamp<\/h3>\n

In an effort to continue the improvements that were made in the previous release, we now have Conditionalized Bid Products, giving users more granular functionality and control.\u00a0 Additionly,\u00a0 we added a Product Name and Description for Bid Products to Purchase orders.\u00a0 \u00a0This makes Purchase Orders more descriptive.\u00a0 \u00a0 BOMs are updated to now show Building Phases, regardless of them having products, if they are considered Phase Bids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

House Quantity Import Revamp<\/h3>\n

The process of importing house quantities has been re-designed to be more fluid, intuitive, and user friendly.\u00a0 This revamp retained the previous functionality while making the workflow easier to bring in data from Xray or Revit into Pipeline.\u00a0 The new design follows a linear, step by step workflow that allows the user to see which files they are working with throughout the entire process.\u00a0 Users are able to “Select All” when new Options or Products are created during the import, which will save time by reducing clicks during importing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Process and Workflow Improvements<\/h3>\n

In an effort to make Pipeline easier to use for new and experienced users, we began this work by looking at typical processes and procedures and identifying areas that could be improved.\u00a0 Pipeline is updated with new copying capabilities where copying didn’t exist before, and enhanced copy capabilities where it was already possible.\u00a0 \u00a0Adding options to houses and communities has been made easier across Pipeline by adding more search and filtering capabilities to option lists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
