What is Sage 100 Contractor?
Sage 100 Contractor, formerly known as Sage Master Builder, is a comprehensive construction management solution designed for small to midsize contractors. It offers a suite of tools for accounting, project management, estimating, and service management. Its primary users include construction managers, contractors, and subcontractors who need an integrated system for managing various aspects of their construction projects.
Built-in Ways to Change Text Capitalization in Sage 100 Contractor
While Sage 100 Contractor provides options for text capitalization, especially within custom fields, it lacks a direct in-place text conversion feature. let’s first walk through the steps to set up text capitalization in custom fields, and then how to convert selected text capitalization directly:
- Access Custom Fields Setup: Navigate to the area in Sage 100 Contractor where you can define or modify custom fields.
- Choose Text Case Option:
- Mixed Case: Select this option to allow text entry in both upper and lower case.
- Upper Case: Opt for this to display all text in upper case only.
- Lower Case: Use this setting to automatically convert all text entries to lower case.
This built-in functionality, while useful for consistent data entry, doesn’t offer the flexibility of converting existing text between different case styles directly within the software. for such text case management, for this type of solution we go to our time saving application AnyCase App.
