Sell Rate View Configuration

The Sell Rates view is the spreadsheet that drives your tender submission. It has its own configuration (SellRateViewConfiguration) stored per-project and per-user.

What You See

The grid shows every direct cost item plus its allocation columns, so the final sell rate is auditable at a glance.

Configuration Panel

Access via the gear icon on the sell rate toolbar.

Row Visibility by Pricing Mode

Show or hide rows by ItemPricingMode:

  • Standard ✅
  • DirectRateOnly ✅
  • SellRateProportional ✅
  • SellRateProjectPercentage ✅
  • NotContributing ❌ (hidden by default — internal only)
  • RateOnly ✅

Row Visibility by State

  • Show Omitted items.
  • Show Hidden & Included items.
  • Show Zero Total items.

ColumnVisibilityJson stores which columns are on. Typical custom layouts:

Grouping

GroupByColumn options:

  • Resource Type.
  • Status.
  • WBS (top level).
  • Item Group.
  • Code Set.

Expand / collapse groups with GroupsExpanded.

Filtering

  • FilterExpression — free-text search across Item, WBS, Resource.
  • MinimumValueFilter / MaximumValueFilter — show only items in a Sell Total range.

Display Preferences

  • ShowVarianceIndicators — highlight items whose sell rate deviates from an expected factor.
  • HighlightManualEdits — yellow background for overridden allocations.
  • ShowAllocationPercentages — show each allocation as a percentage of DirectTotal.

Saving Layouts

Each user can save multiple layouts. Views → Save As New writes a separate SellRateViewConfiguration record. Admins can mark a view as the project default.

Pop-Out

The sell rate view pops out cleanly on a second monitor — useful during review meetings.

Export From This View

  • Excel — preserves layout and grouping.
  • CSV — flattens the current filtered view.
  • PDF — uses the PDF report options (see 12.3) but honours the current filters and visible columns.
