Reviewing Typical Section Profile Recommendations

The Typical Section Profiles tab lists user-defined contingency assignment profiles that have been recommended for use as a system-wide reference profile. You can review each profile and determine whether it is suitable for use as a reference profile for other cost estimates.

You can filter the list of profiles according to review status by using the Status filter. Each row includes an Actions button and represents one bid history profile. You can view information in these fields:

To view the contents of a user-defined typical section profile, click the Typical Section Profile link, or select Open from the Actions menu on the profile row. The system takes you to the Cost Estimate Typical Section Profile Summary (see Maintaining a Typical Section on a Cost Estimate).

To approve a recommendation, select Approve from the Actions menu on the profile row. The system displays a modal window where you must enter a name for the new reference profile. When you are finished, click the Save button. The system closes the modal window and changes the Status of the selected recommendation to Approved. The new reference typical section profile is now available on the Typical Section Profile Overview (see Working with Typical Section Profiles).

To reject a recommendation, select Reject from the Actions menu on the profile row. The system changes the Status to Rejected, and saves your changes automatically.

To delete a recommendation, select Delete from the Actions menu on the profile row. To reverse the deletion, click the Undo button. To save your changes, click the Save button.
