Civil pro shows headings in the schedule using different formatting. Civil pro identifies headings as those schedule items that have no qty or rate. When your schedule is imported rows you want as headings may not show up as such. This may be because there are zeros or non-visible characters in the cell that were imported with the data.
To help with this, civil pro has a wizard available by selecting "Schedule Manipulation=> Define Headings" from the context menu of the Schedule Item Register.
The schedule heading wizard is a single page form (See Fig 1.) Select how you want to define headings by selecting or unselecting either of the two check boxes at the top. Selecting both will require that an item in the schedule has a zero or nothing in both the quantity and rate column.
The third checkbox defines whether civil pro subtotals child items of the heading when printing reports. The depth of the hierarchy for which subtotaling occurs is controlled by entering a value in the 'Limit totals to levels above:' text box which is only accessible when the 'Create subtotals for headings' option is selected. Please note that the subtotal headings can be added independently of the heading definitions, simply run this function again and do not select any criteria for assigning header rows.
