Construction Activity Tab

The Construction Activity tab contains a grid tracking construction activity details such as travel dates and times times, arrival times at the site, and work tasks.

How To Add Construction Activity Details

1. Right-click in the grid and select Add Record.  The following window will appear:

   

2. By default, the four date fields will contain the Inspection Date from the header.  You can modify these date fields as follows:
   • Start Travel Date - The Date and Time that travel began.
   • Arrived Site Date - The Date and Time the crew arrived at the site.
   • Left Site Date - The Date and Time the crew left the site.
   • End Travel Date - The Date and Time travel was complete.

     Note: The Arrived Site Date and Left Site Date fields are required in order to save the record.

3. If a Construction Activity record already exists for the current Employee ID and Inspection Date (identified in the Header), the Start Travel Time will default to the last entry for Left Site Time (if indicated). This time can be edited if needed.
4. Record the travel, arrival, and departure times alongside each of the date fields. The system will automatically calculate the corresponding travel time, time at the site, and return travel time.

   Note: Upon saving the record, the system will enter the total travel time and inspection time in the corresponding fields of the General tab. The total on the General tab will be updated each time an additional Construction Activity record is added.

5. An "On Site?" checkbox is provided to indicate the workers' current location.
6. The Manual Time and Matching Task fields are used to create Resource records in the associated Work Order.
   • Enter a value in one of the three Manual Time fields. These units are in hours; thus, 15 is equal to 15 hours. To record 15 minutes, enter .25 in this field.
   • For each Manual Time that you enter, select a Task from the Matching Task pick-list. These lists are used to indicate which tasks were performed upon arrival, upon inspection, and upon departure, and correspond to the time spent on each task in the Manual Time fields.

     Note: The Tasks in the pick-list come from the associated Work Order record. Only Tasks included on the Work Order will be available for selection here.

7. For every pair (Manual Time and Matching Task), the system will create one Work Order Resource record for the Employee identified in the header.
   • The Resource record will be associated with the Work Order Task record selected in the Matching Task field.
   • The Manual Time values will be carried over to the Resource Units field. If any two Matching Tasks are identical, the system will combine the values in the corresponding Manual Time fields to reflect the total number of Resource Units in the Work Order.
   • The date of the inspection will be entered as both the starting and ending dates of the Resource record.
   • Once the Resource record has been created, users can edit time entry through the related Resource record only. The Manual Time values in this dialog will be disabled.
8. Enter any additional comments in the grid provided.
9. Save and Close the record.
