The Review Fabrication Times tab on the Estimating Summary Dialog lists all the items in a job, and includes a toggle that lets you display only the items that have no (zero) fabrication time values assigned. Use this dialog to review all fabrication time values in a job, and to quickly find items that do not have fabrication times values specified. You can also modify item cost information, such as F-Table and or F-Rate (fabrication time) values, on a drawn item. Users that have Edit Database privileges can also modify certain costing information in the database.

The following options are available on this tab:
Print: Creates a printable report of the information that is currently displayed in the list view on this tab.
Properties: Displays the Modify Costs of Item(s) dialog which lets you edit and or lock\unlock the fabrication time data (F-Table and or F-Rate values) for the items displayed in this list.
Only show items with no Fabrication Times: When this option is selected, only items that have no fabrication times specified are displayed in the list view on this tab. Therefore, if you select this option, and no items display in this list view (if the list view is blank or empty), this indicates that all items in the currently selected job do have fabrication times specified, and that there are no items that do not have fabrication times specified. If you select this option, and items are displayed in the list that have no fabrication times specified, you may want to specify fabrication times for each item that does not have fabrication times specified. When this option is not selected, items that have no fabrication times specified are included in the list view display, along with items that do have fabrication times specified.
Collate Items: When this option is not selected, each instance of an item displays in this table with a quantity of 1. When the Collate Items option is selected, multiple items of the same size and type are collated (combined) into a single row, showing a quantity of greater than 1. The Item Numbers for the multiple items are displayed in the Item No column. Hover the mouse cursor over the values displaying in the Item No. field to display all of the item numbers.
