Spread Nominations - Grid Columns

Each window within Expert Estimation has its own unique workspace layout. The following list displays the available columns that can be edited or viewed within the Spread Nominations window.

Before any changes can be made to the Spread Nominations window, the Edit button  needs to be selected from the ribbon menu. Fields that have an editable property can also be modified from within the Properties pane.
