We have implemented an update to the BOQ grid layout to make the status of BOQ easier to understand at a glance.

Previously, the grid exposed several technical bitfields used to represent the current state of a BOQ actual. These fields were useful for logic and validation, but less suitable for day-to-day user interaction in the grid. With this update, those fields are now hidden by default and replaced by a new Status field that presents the current state through a single icon with a tooltip.

What has changed

1. Technical bitfields are hidden by default

The following existing bitfields are now hidden from the BOQ grid by default:

• CONC – Contractor creating/updating BOQ actuals

• CLIV – Client verifying/rejecting BOQ actuals

• CBV – Current BOQ actual verified

• CBR – Current BOQ actual rejected

• CBF – Current BOQ actual is final

• Finished – BOQ finished when a final BOQ actual has been verified

2. New Status field added to the grid

A new Status field has been introduced to replace the visible use of the bitfields in the grid.

• The field displays an icon only

• A tooltip appears on hover to explain the status. The filter will also show the status-text.

Status mapping

The new Status field reflects the BOQ actual’s current state based on the existing bitfield logic:
