Setting automatic reminders to save takeoffs

Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Estimating Module.

You can help safeguard takeoffs from data loss using the Remind to Save command, which provides a reminder for you to save work. You can even set the interval when Sage 100 Contractor provides the reminder.

To set an automatic reminder to save takeoffs:

1. Open the 9-5 Takeoffs window.
2. On the Options menu, click Remind to Save.
3. Select the interval for the reminder.

4. If you do not want Sage 100 Contractor to calculate takeoffs automatically whenever you save them, select the Save without automatic recalculation check box.(A takeoff is calculated automatically whenever you open it or save the takeoff manually.)

5. Click OK.
