Feature
Goldenseal estimating software version 3.8 adds an
optional Show in All Subcategories checkbox for Assemblies
and Cost Items. It allows you to always show
an item when its category is selected, no matter what
subcategory is being used. This checkbox
is similar to the Show in All Categories checkbox,
only its action is more limited.

How to Use
Right now this is an optional field. To add it to your
layout, follow these steps:
- Choose Custom Layouts from the Options menu, and choose Transactions
from the submenu.
- Enter Assemblies into the Transaction
popup field at upper left.
- Click on the Field tool (fourth row left).
- Click in the layout, and drag a rectangle where you'd like
the field to appear.
- Scroll through the list of optional fields, and choose
Show in All Subcategories, then click OK.
- Close the layout, and save changes.
- The next time you open the transaction
window, it will include the new checkbox.
NOTE-- You can also add the checkbox to Cost Item records. To show an item in all subcategories, follow these
steps:
- Choose Assemblies from the Costs menu.
- Use the Find command to locate the assembly that you'd
like to include in all subcategories.
- Click on the Include in All Subcategories checkbox to turn
it on.
- Hit the Enter key to save the record.
- The next time you enter the Assembly into an Estimate line
item, it will appear whenever its category is
in the Category column, no matter what is in
the Subcategory column.
Technical Details
This one was easy to add, since it works almost the
same as the existing Show in All Categories feature. Note that we always
welcome user suggestions, for enhancements in the Goldenseal
estimating software program.
