Highlighting Zero Dollar Phases In The Summary Sheet

Highlighting Zero Dollar Phases In The Summary Sheet

BidMatrix includes an option to highlight phases that do not have a dollar value. This option is available in both the Summary Sheet as well as inside each bid package matrix.

To use this option on the Summary Sheet, click on the Highlights option on the Summary Sheet toolbar.


Check the box labeled Zero Dollar Phases. The Summary Sheet will then highlight phases that do not have a dollar value in the Project Total column. Phases that do not have a dollar value, do not have a either a budget or a bid from a subcontractor for that phase(s). See example below:


The bid package phase(s) and the bid package over-line will be highlighted for all bid packages that have one of more zero dollar phases.

To highlight zero dollar phases inside a bid package matrix, click on the Highlights option on the bid package matrix toolbar.


If a bid package phase does not have either a budget or a bid from a subcontractor, that phase will be highlighted in the matrix, when you have chosen to highlight zero dollar phases.




Highlighting Phases with No Subcontractor Bids (Budgets / Self Perform Only)

You have the option to highlight phases on the Summary Sheet where the project total for that phase is using your budget, often referred to as your self-perform budget.

To highlight phases that have a budget but no subcontractor bids, click on the Highlights option on the Summary Sheet toolbar. Click on the box labeled No Sub Bids Self Perform Budget Only.



The Summary Sheet will then highlight those phases and bid packages that have one or more phases that are using the budget for the project total.


To highlight phases in a bid package that only have a budget and do not yet have a subcontractor bid, click on the Highlights option on the bid package matrix toolbar. Next, check the box labeled No Sub Bids (Self Perform / Budget Only).



The bid package matrix will then highlight phases that have a budget but no subcontractor bids.
