Matrices
Genesis edition only.
Matrices, within Expert Estimation, represent collections of related items that share a common set of attributes. The values of these attributes can then be referenced when estimating the rates of individual units of work.
While each item within a matrix is unique with their own set of attributes, each Item in a Matrix can share a common Cost Estimate Template.
Within the Matrices module you can:
- Create and manage a set of Matrix Items for a particular Matrix.
- Define a list of Attributes and Matrix Defines that can be referenced in calculating the rate of a Matrix Item.
- Create a Cost Estimate Template that can be assigned to multiple Matrix Items within a particular Matrix.
The contextual ribbon menu at the top of the window displays all the available functions within the Matrices window.
The main grid area displays a list of all available Matrices when you first open the Matrices window. A Matrix cannot be removed if one of the Matrix Items associated with it is used within the project.
