    ProPricer v9.5 Build 100

     

    Integration with BOE Pro


    ProPricer 9.5 works with our new web-based estimating software called BOE Pro. After a proposal is
    approved in BOE Pro, it can be seamlessly restored in ProPricer 9.5. Once the estimates and their
    justification are reviewed, the proposal can be archived and sent back to a BOE Pro user if needed.


    Update proposals from a template


    After reconfiguring proposal CERs and resource field mappings in a proposal template, you can apply
    those updates on-demand to any proposal. There’s no need to repeatedly make the same changes in
    each proposal one by one.


    Move items to a different folder


    Items that are saved in a folder, such as proposals or rate tables, can be moved to another folder all at
    once or individually with a new right-click option. After choosing the items, right-click them and select
    Move to Folder.


    Fewer resource field values in proposal archives


    When archiving a proposal that has resource fields, only the resource field values used in the proposal
    will be included. Any created values that have not been used will be excluded from the .zip archive file.

     

    Summary fields in algorithm IF statements


    IF statements in a pricing algorithm can now be based on summary fields and their values. This allows
    task-level pricing switches in a proposal by simply selecting a specific summary field value for a task.


    Copy Task Data and Flex/Shift combined


    The Copy Task Data process now incorporates the Flex/Shift what-if, since these two features often go
    hand in hand. In the settings for the copy process, you can use Flex/Shift to adjust the period of
    performance start and end dates.


    Comparison CER Data Report


    This new comparison report is based on the existing CER Data Report. Instead of printing CER data for
    a single proposal, the new report shows side-by-side CER data for multiple proposals.


    Copy selected data from a task


    While entering new estimates in tasks, the Add Copy From process will help you quickly copy a row of
    data from another proposal. If a parent row is copied from hierarchical data, like the bill of materials
    structure, all rows within it will also be copied. Not only does this save data entry time, but it also keeps
    your global data untouched and intact.

     

    .NET 6 upgrade


    ProPricer has been upgraded to .NET 6, allowing the application server to be installed remotely, and
    providing better integration with our current and future web-based products. The ProPricer installer
    includes all the required components, so pre-installing .NET Framework 4.8 is no longer a system
    requirement.

    Only compatible with version 9.5 of ProPricer Contractor Edition Enterprise

     

    New features and enhancements

     

    Resource code mapping

    This new feature is designed to bump up the speed and accuracy of estimators while assigning resources to tasks. To clarify which resources are available in a direct rate table, you can create recognizable codes and map them to the table's resources. Then an estimator can select a code instead of a resource name, and all the resource information will be entered automatically.

    The Resource Code Library is for creating global resource codes for all proposals, and the Resource Code Mapping tab of proposal settings lets you create proposal-specific codes. The new proposal settings are also for enabling, applying, and setting up the resource code mapping in a proposal.

    Resource class support

    BOE Pro now supports resource classes in ProPricer Contractor Edition direct rate tables and CER tables. Previously, resource classes were invalid in BOE Pro, which limited the CE data you could work with in a proposal.

    Enable or disable finding BOE formulas

    In BOE View, the text editor has a new button:  Auto find formulas. It lets you enable or disable the smart formula feature in a BOE text section.

    Workflow steps in other proposal views

    The Estimate List, Pivot Grid, and Summary View have separate columns that show workflow steps and their users. This makes it easy to keep an eye on your team's workflow while viewing a proposal in different ways.

    Change workflow step colors

    While setting up workflow steps in the settings of a proposal template or proposal, you can right-click a step and pick its color.

    BOE versioning improvements

    After finalizing a BOE for the first time, the version number created for it will no longer update automatically. If the BOE changes and is finalized again, the number will stay the same. You can only update the version number by changing it manually and providing a reason.

    Define numbers as BOE text formulas

    If your BOE text has a number with no mathematical operators, like 800 hours, you can quickly make the number a formula. Just select it and click  on the text editor ribbon.

    Navigation improvements

    To help navigate BOE Pro:

    • The options in the Administration menu are in two groups: Security and Setup.
    • The options in the More menu (after selecting a proposal) are in three groups: Input, Analyze, and Actions.

    Performance optimization

    Performance of the following processes has been optimized:

    • Loading data from libraries.
    • Syncing proposals with ProPricer Contractor Edition.
    • Archiving proposals.

    Fixes

    • Events now appear in activity feeds when users create a proposal, PBS element, task, or BOE.
    • The width and order of columns set by a user are now saved. This fix is applied throughout the application.
    • An error no longer appears after attempting to delete multiple proposals, and at least one has workflow step assignments or overrides in a BOE.
    • The application no longer crashes when proposal settings are edited with the BOE List open, and the Workflow feature is enabled in the proposal for the first time.
    • In CER View, the Cap Timescale setting for a CER can no longer be changed when the Base Amt. Cap setting is blank.
    • After exporting data from the Estimate List to a spreadsheet, the Start Date and End Date values now appear in the correct format.
    • After restoring a proposal, it is now automatically selected when it appears on the Proposals page.
    • Many other fixes were made to improve the following:
      • Adding proposals from ProPricer Contractor Edition
      • Application breadcrumbs
      • BOE View
      • Custom reports
      • Estimates page
      • Help tours
      • Importing previous estimates
      • User interface
