This chapter contains the topic:
Before you create your job master records, you must set up data types for the information you want to store. You set up the data types and security for supplemental information, such as logs.
After you create your job master records, you can enter supplemental information specific to each job or project. Supplemental information can include anything from ground conditions to legal considerations that can affect a job's progress.
You can review all of the supplemental information associated with your projects and jobs.
For example, assume you review the details of the site-work work item and find that the clearing and grading work is one month behind schedule and 10% over budget. You review the supplemental information related to the site-work work item and find information describing the adverse weather conditions that have delayed the work. You can then adjust the rest of the site-work work item and any other affected work, accordingly.
In addition, assume that you review the overall details of all of the jobs in a project and find that concrete is 10% under budget. The supplemental information explains that the price of rebar is lower than expected. You can adjust the budget accordingly.
You can also generate supplemental data reports to view the supplemental information associated with a specific job. You can also generate a report displaying supplemental information by data type.
