Managing Systems in an Estimate
In Ediphi, Systems are collections of line items that aren’t tied to a single trade or scope of work, but apply across multiple scopes in an estimate. They are reusable across all projects, and streamline estimating by replacing the need for assemblies used in legacy on-premise tools. They automatically generate all related line items based on parametric project data. For instance, if your building is 20 stories tall and your Area sheet is complete, Systems will encompass the entire project’s square footage and adapt automatically to the geometric data. See below for how to create and manage your own Systems in your project.

Add/Modify a System
- Within your estimate, hover your cursor over the Systems tab, and then click Manage Systems.
- Select a preset System that will add any associated line items to the estimate, then click Next.
- The platform will then add all the line items associated with the Systems you selected.
Remove a System
- Within your estimate, hover your cursor over the Systems tab, and then click Manage Systems.
- De-select the Systems you no longer want to use in your estimate, then click Next.
- The platform will ask you to confirm that you want to remove said Systems, as well as any associated line items within them. Click Confirm.
- The platform will remove all line items that were under these Systems, from your estimate. Please note this action cannot be undone.
