Database
Editor
The Sage Timberline Office Database Editor provides a set of Windows®-based
tools for streamlined setup and easy maintenance of
the estimating databases you use with Sage Timberline Office estimating
software. Quickly add records and update fields in
multiple records all at once. Global changes are immediately
visible in a spreadsheet-style view.
Database Editor ensures referential integrity of records
throughout your database. Changing a phase description,
for example, will carry through to the same description
referenced in items, assemblies, and in models. You
can also use several reporting tools to check your
database for missing elements, such as phases or formulas
referenced by other database elements. Offering extensive
and dynamic help, Database Editor can be used by both
novice and experienced Sage Timberline Office estimating users.
