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.
