Install Desktop Utility

Before you can download an assignment to your estimating system or add an estimate to the job, you’ll need to go through a quick installation. Click Download Assignment or Add Existing Estimate and a window appears that walks you through the installation.

Note: Many functions in Mitchell Cloud Estimating do not require the installation.

You’ll know that you need to do the install if a yellow banner on the top of the estimate card shows on the Job Overview page.

The banner appears when users attempt any of the following from the Estimate card: 

  • Download estimate information to another estimating system.

  • Add existing estimate from another estimate system.

  • Export EMS

You may also need to perform this update whenever there is a new version of Mitchell Connect.

Note: Mitchell Connect now allows you to write estimates for a limited time before requiring you to update the utility. This provides users with strict security additional time to update the utility.
