Import Files

The process for importing a file into the Bills of Quantities list or the Bill of Quantities Card is the same as long as an empty Bill of Quantities Card exists.

To import a file

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Bills of Quantities, and then choose the related link.
  2. Choose the New action and then press Enter to assign a number.
  3. On the Home menu, choose the Import File action.
  4. The Import BOQ File dialog opens for selecting the file. Choose the Choose button, select the file, and then choose the Open button to import the file.

During the import process, a message will open if any issues are found. Nevertheless, the Bill of Quantities Card is updated with the information from the BoQ file.
