Request Templates

• Purpose: Request Templates are used to bulk create assignments for a job on the Job > Assignments page. If a customer has typical assignments for different kinds of jobs they do, they can use these templates to make it easier to add all of those assignments at once to the Job/Opportunity.  

  • For example: Restaurant Remodel jobs will allways have a Project Manager, Superintendent, Foreman, and 4 Apprentices for 100% allocation for the length of the project. Making a request template will allow users to quickly add all of these requests for these resources at one time.

• Permissions: Normal users can only use the Request Templates that have already been setup by an admin.

Job Setup

Phases

• Purpose: Construction phases can be added to each opportunity/job and are used for splitting up the phases of consturction into smaller segments of time. This allows you to create assignments that are tied to the specific dates of the construction phase which helps auto adjust the dates of any assignment if the construction phase dates are changed.

• Permissions: Assign construction phases to Jobs on the Jobs > Phase Page. Normal users can only add phases that are already created by an admin. 

• Note: The "Entire Job" phase is auto generated by the system if the Job has a Start and End date

Tags

• Purpose: Use tags to categorize jobs and improve searchability/filterability.

• Future Use: Tags will contribute to building employee work histories and enhancing resource recommendations.
