Released on March 8, 2020
Some modules are loaded on demand.
Note: we remind you that the tools can be downloaded: http://www.iaes-software.com/downloads/QDV_Tools_4_XL_Beta.zip
This tool can be installed under QDV if you have a version 2013 or greater. It requires QDV Ultimate Edition. It’s still a beta version not completely stable. We’ll issue a stable version with QDV 7.20 by the end of May 2020.
We'll provide a robust installer in the coming weeks. To install it meanwhile, you need full permissions on Excel. Unzip the archive in some temporary folder and run the Setup.exe installer.
In the global parameters of the Pricing application, the color can be defined for the target styles, and a coefficient is used to decline some of them for the levels.
New rules apply: If a depth is defined, it must be provided in order to select the line. If a depth column is not defined, rows without items are not imported.
Max length of WBS Item was changed from 25 to 100 and minute’s WBS Item from 20 to 100.
When attempting to type a reference from the database of the estimate directly in the minutes (in the column ReferenceToInternalArticle), QDV automatically displays a list of suggested names so you no longer have to type entire names when referring to the database of the estimate.
When you display, in the minutes or in the nomenclatures, a columns having a default value which is not 0 or blank and you decide to display those default values we have a strange behavior when using the backspace key: the value taken into account was the default value but the displayed value was blank. However, the problem got solved at next compute costs operation.
Now when you use the backspace key in such a field and return a blank string, the default value is displayed and you no longer need to compute the costs to see accurate figures.
A new event named On_Before_Create_File_For_Parent has been added. It is triggered when a child estimate issued in non-transparent mode create the file for his parent. You can use is to populate the columns you want to return to the parent and avoid complex formulas.
A new system variable named SYS_Sharing_Transparency_Mode is available in the list of global variables. This is a read-only variables which can be used to determine which mode of transparency was used to issue your estimate. It can have 3 values:
•NO_APPLICABLE (when you’re in a parent estimate or an estimate which has never been a child)
•PARTIAL (when you’re in an estimate issued in Adjustable Transparency Mode)
•FULL (when you’re in an estimate issued in full transparent mode)
Notice that your child estimate can also be a parent of grandchildren. This variable only tells you how YOUR estimate has been generated.
When settings are imported from a template estimate into a non-transparent child estimate, if the latter receives formulas in from the template to its shared columns, this import operation could fail. This is fixed by automatically re-indexing the target estimate after the import operation.
You may see sometimes a message “Corrupted database” when computing selling prices. This is a quite common issue with the SQLite Engine used by QDV. The problem gets solved automatically by running a “Check and Repaint” operation.
