I'd like to share another technical support case with our PriMus users.

How to link an item's 'quantity' to other cost estimate items?

Answer
Instead of copying total quantity data from one field to another, you can use the 'See Item' function.

The 'See Item' function allows you to indicate (link) an item's total quantity in the measurement rows of another item; as the 'item' view quantity varies you will obtain the automatic update of the quantities in the items where the "See Item" is inserted...

IMPORTANT!!! - The See Item function allows you to (link) only the measurement items preceding the item on which the function is activated.
For example, if in the BoQ there are n. 10 items and the 'See Item' is activated on item n. 4, only the first three items are proposed in the dialog box.
