The Rate Search Tool feature is another one of our AI-powered features that allows you to easily search through all quotations you may send yourself or receive from subcontractors and suppliers.

It looks similar to the X-Ray feature, but it is a different tool. Here is how you navigate to the Rate Search Tool functionality.

When you log into your BidWork account, you simply click on the Rate Search Tool feature that is located right next to Your Projects.

Once you do this, you will be presented with a few options.

You can search for the term manually in the search bar or you can choose some of the options presented below the search bar.

Here is how the search bar option works. You enter a value into the search bar and the system provides you with the quotations that match that search.

Then, you will have an option of clicking on three links that will navigate you to the desired pages.

The first link that is in the Description column will take you to the document (quote) where that searched value can be found.

Not only that, but it will also show you exactly where in the document that value is located. 

The next link in the Project column takes you to the Drawings And Docs page in the project where you can see if everything is in order. 

The last link, located on the right-hand side of the screen allows you to open the quotation in the new tab. 

Once you do this, you will be able to see all the quotations you received for that project. Also, you will be able to see if all the subcontractors have allowed for the latest addendums.

If you, however, opt for a manual search, you can simply choose one of the presented values on the screen. For example, you can choose Construction and opt for one of the values listed below. 

This is just a different method of search, but it will provide you with desired results.
