• To access the Dashboard, simply click ‘Dashboard’ on the top menu
• By clicking on the desired category, you will receive a more in depth view of the topic on it’s own screen.
• These views will be accompanied by a graph and some working numbers having to do with the topic. You can arrange these by fiscal year at the top dropdown menu. For certain sections in the Dashboard, you can also see data based on individual performance such as the Estimator, Foreman, and Project Manager views.
• The ‘Hot Jobs’ view is a great tool to use when trying to find potential work in the next coming months.
• Here, you can go into the Hot Jobs view, and see the potential jobs based on their “% Hot”
• This view will give you an idea of what jobs to go after next
• You can add notes and reminders to the Hot Jobs as well, and assign them to a specific team member by:

  • Deselect any field you wish, or 'Export all data to csv' to save to Excel

• The Workforce Section is particularly useful when looking at it in the Dashboard View.
