UChapter2 LIVE – Interoperability — Setting Up Revu’s Data Export for Import into Other Software
In this course, I’ll walk you through my process of using a few of Revu’s customization features so your exported Markup Summary can be imported into other software. I created this workflow for Millwork, but the procedure should be the same for any trade.
- We’ll be taking a look at custom columns, custom tools/ toolchests and setting up a BatchConfig export file.
- We’ll also explore Revu’s several markup tools and their attributes so you can manipulate them in a way that you’ll need for the destination software.
- We’ll run the markup summary export file through Power Query where we will get a consistent data output for any process that you have to repeat.
This is an advanced workflow that will take your markups and turn them into so much more.
Doug McLean is a cabinetmaker from Greater Vancouver, BC, who started in the construction industry in late 2001 doing vinyl siding, and quickly learned that it wasn’t for him. He took a job with a kitchen cabinet shop in early 2002, where he earned his journeyman’s ticket in joinery. In 2009 he moved on from there and went to work for Towne Millwork. He’s been a Revu user since 2017 and is a practitioner of continuous Improvement.
