Creating Finish Keys for Rooms (UPC)
In Ediphi, Admins have the ability to add products to the UPC for use as Finish Keys in the Rooms Detailed Summary tab. To accomplish this, these items must be assigned a type within the UPC. This article will outline the necessary steps to complete this process.
- Click on the UPC button located on the top right of your screen. (See our Creating a Product in the UPC article to learn how to add a product to the UPC)
After creating or importing your products, you will want to enter a value under the Item Code and UoM columns for these products so the Key can be identified later on.
- The most important column is Type. Double-click the cell for the specific product under that column.
- Select the finish that aligns to this product:
- Base
- Ceiling
- Floor
- Any Finish
Walls
After linking your products to Finish Types, you can now go into your Estimate within Ediphi.
- On the left-hand side, select Detailed Summary under Rooms.
In the Room Details section under Finishes, select Finish Key.
A pop-up window will appear showing all Finish Keys for the current Use Group selected. Click on the blue Add Finish Key button.
Note: Another route to add Finish Keys is to click on a Paint Roller Icon under a room. Once that window appears, select Add Finish Key on the top right.
- After clicking on Add Finish Key, a pop-up will appear showing all available Keys from the UPC. Click the checkboxes of all the Keys you would like to add, then click on Add Selected Products. You'll be asked to review the products to ensure they are correct before adding; at which point you can click Add Line Items.
- These items will now show as available Finish Keys, and can be used in the Room Details section.
After adding Rooms to this section, select the Blue Paint Roller Icon to add Finish Keys to your rooms.
- A window will appear to select one or multiple Keys. Select the Keys you need, and then click on Save.
Note: If you assigned "Any Finish" as the Type in the UPC for your Key, that Key can be used in any Finish category within that table.
Also, after adding finishes to the Room Details section, navigate to the next section over and click on Line Items to see your finishes as line items along with rooms.
